Blast Kills Three in Syria's Sweida: Governor
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A rigged motorcycle exploded in Syria’s Sweida city, which the government controls, killing three people and injuring seven others on Wednesday night, an official there said.
The situation is stable after the incident, and life is going on as normal,” Amer al-Eshi, the governor of Sweida province in the southwest, told Syrian state TV.
He said security forces would investigate the blast which hit a crowded street, describing it as a “terrorist act” without giving further details.
An armed conflict began in Syria in 2011. But the Syrian military, backed by the Russian air force and Iranian military advisers, has taken back control of most of the areas in Syria that had been held by militant and terrorist groups.
Pockets of Daesh terrorists remain on a tiny patch of territory — the village of Beghouz — in northern Syria, near the Iraqi border.
Other armed groups have been bused into Syria’s Idlib Province under deals with the government in Damascus. Three guarantor countries for Syrian peace, namely Iran, Russia, and Turkey, are negotiating on behalf of the Syrian government and opposition to decide about the fate of the armed groups in Idlib.
