إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Explosions outside the Syrian interior ministry, including a car bomb, killed seven people and wounded 50 others on Wednesday, a security official said.
Interior Minister Mohammad al-Shaar and other top ranking officials escaped unharmed, state television reported.
State news agency SANA said earlier that three bombs struck outside the ministry in the capital's southwestern district of Kfar Sousa, one of them a car bomb.
"Three terrorist explosions, including one caused by a car bomb, struck the interior ministry in Kfar Sousa," SANA said. "Several people were killed and injured."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 25 people were killed and wounded.
Images from the scene broadcast by the pro-government al-Ikhbariya television channel showed piles of rubble, and blood on the ground.
The adjacent building housing the Egyptian embassy was also hit, Egypt's official MENA news agency reported.
"An embassy employee was injured, and the building was damaged," MENA quoted Egyptian diplomat Alaa Abdel Aziz as saying.
Several bombings have struck Damascus since an uprising against President Bashar Assad's rule erupted in March last year, among them suicide attacks.
Most blasts have targeted government and security buildings.
Earlier on Wednesday, two bomb attacks killed one person and wounded others in Damascus and a southeastern suburb of the capital, SANA reported.

ASSad's interior minister was wounded in the attack..he's a legitimate target just like any ASSad official complicit in the killing or covering up the killings of Syrians.

with all these bombings i dont know what more proof people need that Assad will be led to the gallows soon.. or he will change his mind about living and dying in Syria...and will go into exile..he lost control.. and is losing more and more by the day...
knowing the Assads.. and how in reality they are cowards.. ill put my money on him running away and then saying he left so the peace can return to Syria.. and all of his cronies will laud him as being a big man..

Well said my friend. This is the only language these bastards have spoken for decades. It's time someone started speaking their language right back to them. Maybe now they can start tasting the pain they've inflicted on others.
