Syria: 2 blasts that killed 8 were suicide attacks

Syria's state news agency reported that "the two explosions that killed at least eight people in the city of Idlib were carried out by suicide bombers."

The state news agency, SANA, said Monday's blasts wounded nearly 100 people. The explosions were near a military compound, but it's not clear what the target was.

The force of the explosions shattered windows in the area and sent debris flying for hundreds of meters.

However, a rights activist said more than 20 people were killed, the majority of them members of the security forces, when two bombs detonated near state intelligence buildings on Monday in the northern city of Idlib.

"The bombs exploded next to the Air Force Intelligence headquarters and the Military Intelligence building," Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said.
