DAMASCUS, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- An explosive-laden car went off in the district of Tadamun in the Syrian capital Damascus on Saturday, a pro-government TV said, adding that the local committees in the district succeeded in rounding up the person who detonated it.
Tadamun has been witnessing intense fighting between the government troops and the armed militias over the past several months. The local committees, set up by government forces, are also involved in the fighting against the rebels.
There has been no immediate word on casualties.
Meanwhile, the state-run SANA news agency said that three car bombs went off in the southern province of Daraa earlier in the day, killing at least seven people and causing huge material damages.
Quoting an official source, SANA said the first car bomb rocked the crowded al-Mubailat street, while the second one rattled the Panorama roundabout and the third one tore through the Finance Directorate in Daraa, causing big damages to the building and nearby ones as well.
SANA added that the third car bomb was rigged with large amounts of anti-tank mines, some of which did not go off during the blast.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that the Daraa explosions killed scores of government soldiers. Yet, such claim is impossible of being verified.
Separately, a Syrian army unit blasted a boat used by " terrorists" in Euphrates River in eastern Deir al-Zour province on Saturday, killing six armed men.
Violence in Syria keeps escalating amid more overt presence of foreign Jihadists who are fighting the government troops.
