Libya has condemned Saturday’s car bomb explosion in the Syrian capital, Damascus, which left 17 people dead and many others wounded. In a press statement, the Libyan Secretary for Foreign Relations and International Cooperation, Abdulraahmane Chalgham, expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and described the incident as “terrorism”. The statement, quoting reports from Damascus, said 17 people died in the blast and 14 others were wounded. The reports said the explosion was targeted at a police station.
Syria has recently experienced a series of explosions, the worst being on 12 February which was targeted at high-ranking military leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Imad Moghniya, who immediately accused the Israeli Intelligence Services (Mossad) of being behind the attack.
