The Syrian capital has gotten used to the sound of sirens, but this morning’s two bomb blasts stand out as perhaps the most deadly in the capital. Syria’s health minister says at least 50 people are dead, at least 170 wounded. The blasts were so powerful, a facade of a military intelligence build was ripped off.
Today’s bombing calls into question the entire UN peace plan. It’s current mission inside the country is to monitor the peace, but seemingly there is very little peace to monitor. Ahmad Fawzi, spokesman for Kofi Annan, Joint Envoy for Syria responds. We are also joined by reporter Laura Lynch from inside Syria.
