Twin bombs killed at least 33 people and wounded more than 100 in the Old City of Damascus on Saturday in a rare attack in the Syrian capital, a monitoring group and state media said.
A roadside bomb detonated as a bus passed and a suicide bomber blew himself up in the Bab al-Saghir area, which houses several Shia mausoleums that draw pilgrims from around the world, the UK-based Syrian "Observatory for Human Rights" said.
The SANA state news agency reported that "two bombs planted by terrorists exploded near the Bab al-Saghir cemetery in Bab Musalla", killing 33 people and injuring more than 100 others.
Hezbollah's al-Manar TV put the death toll at 40, adding that most of the victims were Iraqi.
