suicide bombing in Damascus

Two suicide bombers have blown themselves up in the centre of the Syrian capital, Damascus, killing 14 people, Syrian media say.

At least 30 other people were injured in the blasts, in Marjeh Square.
The explosions happened near a police building in the busy commercial district.
The attack comes as regime forces prepare an assault to recapture the northern city of Aleppo after having retaken Quseir from the rebels.
Images on Syria's al-Ikhbariya TV showed a scene of widespread damage, with shop fronts blown out and debris littering the street.
Blood stains marked the pavement, while people milled around among broken glass and wreckage.
The BBC's Jim Muir in nearby Lebanon says that although rebel forces seemed poised to capture the city centre of Damascus a few months ago, that imminent threat has receded in recent months.
Regime forces launched counterattacks aimed at pushing the rebels back from the nearby suburbs, especially on the eastern and southern flanks of the capital.
Residents say the constant sound of heavy bombardment which they heard at that time has much receded, although hostilities continue in outlying areas and there are occasion bomb explosions or mortar attacks inside the city perimeter.
