Syria bombs aimed at ‘subverting’ peace talks

Russia’s foreign ministry has said that a string of suicide bombings in Syria at the weekend claimed by the so-called Islamic State group were aimed at undermining the peace process.

 

57 people died in two bomb blasts in the city of Homs while multiple bomb blasts in the city of Damascus left 62 people dead.

 

“The atrocious crimes of extremists are aimed at scaring the peaceful population, subverting attempts to reach a long-term political settlement to the Syrian crisis in the interests of all Syrians and efforts to end violence and bloodshed,” Russia’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
