Blast near the city of Mosul killed at least 13

At least 13 Syrian military personnel were killed in a roadside bomb attack, as their bus crossed a bridge in central Damascus during the early morning rush hour on Wednesday.

Qatar's state-run Al Jazeera news agency quoted Syrian state television as saying two bombs had exploded near a bus carrying military officials. The attack took place on a busy street as people were going to work and school and college.

There was another bomb, which was defused by army engineers.

No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, it is believed that the militant group IS is involved in this incident.
