Suicide Bomber Kills At Least 22 In Greek Orthodox Church In Syria During Divine Liturgy

2 days ago State media says a suicide bomber in Syria has detonated himself inside a church filled with people, killing at least 22. The explosion in Dweil’a in the outskirts of Damascus took place Sunday as people were praying inside the Mar Elias Church. Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says there were 30 people wounded and killed, but the exact numbers are unclear. Some local media reported that children were among the casualties. The attack was the first of its kind in Syria in years, and comes as Damascus under its de facto Islamist rule is trying to win the support of minorities.
