Beirut: Dozens of security officials have been killed in Syria when two cars loaded with explosives struck a military camp in the southern town of Deraa on Saturday, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The incident appeared to be a double suicide attack.
The watchdog said that the detonation of the second vehicle caused the casualties.
Syrian state television reported that two car bombs had gone off at separate locations in Deraa, saying there was “news of casualties among civilians and big material damage in the two places”.
The report did not give details which military camp was targeted.
