Sayyeda-Zainab-Damascus- BOMBING
Suicide attacks in January claimed by ISIS in the Sayyida Zainab area killed 60 people.

At least 31 people were killed and dozens others injured in multiple  bombings that rocked  the Damascus suburb of al-Sayyida Zainab, where Syria’s holiest Shiite shrine is located

Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV said earlier that  at least 22 were killed in the attacks.

Four blasts hit al-Tin street in Sayeda Zeinab, pro-Damascus al-Ikhbariya said in a newsflash. It said two of the blasts were car bombs and the other two had been detonated by suicide attackers.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported that  there were four explosions in a combined vehicle bomb and suicide attack.

State TV said the blasts hit near the al-Sadr hospital in Sayeda Zeinab.

Suicide attacks last month claimed by ISIS in the district killed 60 people.

Sunday’s explosions came just hours after a twin bomb attack in the city of Homs which killed at least 46 people, according to the Observatory.
