One of Thursday's rush hour blasts hit the Qazaz locality that
houses a well-known military intelligence headquarters involved in President
Bashar al-Assad's onslaught on a 14-month revolution.
The boundary wall of the 9-floor headquarters destroyed, although the
structure inside appeared to be unharmed.
Syrian state television has confirmed that at least 40 people were killed
and 170 wounded in the twin blasts.
The blasts were so powerful that had been heard all over the city.
Medical workers were seen gathering parts of human bodies from the streets of
the area after the blasts and severely damaged cars and other vehicles stood smoldering
in the area, reported by Associated Press.
