Military history of Syria

A suicide car bomber pursued by security forces blew himself up in eastern Damascus on July 2, with a monitor reporting 18 killed in the deadliest attack to hit the Syrian capital in months.

Syrian state media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said security forces intercepted three car bombers on their way into the city early on July 2.

At least 46 people were killed and dozens injured on Feb. 21 in a double car bomb attack in the central Syrian city of Homs, a monitor said.

Two brothers, both of them Syrian nationals permanently residing in Bulgaria, were the attackers of a 22-year old Syrian migrant who was killed in Sofia on Sunday, BGNES reported.

According to prosecuting authorities, one of the brothers had stabbed the victim to death.
