At least 55 killed in twin blasts at Damascus intel compound, terrorists blamed (PHOTOS)

At least 55 people have been killed and 372 others injured by two powerful blasts in the Syrian capital on Thursday morning. The car bombs detonated near a military intelligence building.

The blasts happened just as employees were arriving at work. Ambulances are trying to reach the victims of what’s been branded a terrorist attack by the state television, AP reports.

UN observers inspected the site of the bombing. Peace envoy Kofi Annan has condemned the deadly attacks in Damascus and called on all parties to halt the violence.

A number of bomb attacks have happened in Syria since the UN-brokered ceasefire between loyalists troops and armed opposition forces was announced in mid-April.
