A similar bus explosion hit Homs in mid-march Daesh and the rebel Tahrir Al-Sham alliance have claimed some of the deadly attacks BEIRUT: A blast on a bus carrying passengers in the government-controlled Syrian city of Homs injured six people on Tuesday, Syrian state news agency SANA said. “Six civilians were injured by a bomb explosion inside a bus in ... the Al-Zahra neighborhood,” SANA said, quoting the head of Homs police force. A number of bombings struck cities under Syrian government control last year, including the capital Damascus, and a similar bus explosion hit Homs in mid-march, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said. Daesh and the rebel Tahrir Al-Sham alliance — led by fighters formerly linked to Al-Qaeda — have claimed some of the deadly attacks. Syrian state television station Al-Ikhbariya showed pictures of a white minibus it said had been damaged by the bomb.
