Syrian government says bomb near Damascus struck hospital

The Syrian government's chief negotiator said on April 25 that an explosion south of the capital had struck a hospital, killing some patients evacuated last week from two rebel-besieged towns in the northwestern province of Idlib. 

Bashar Ja'afari told reporters on arrival for talks with U.N. Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura: "The explosion that the terrorists carried out in the area of Sayeda Zeinab today centred on a hospital that treated injured from Foua and Kefraya brought." 

"...It took the lives of tens of innocents. So while we had a diplomatic dialogue here, they (the opposition) decided to withdraw (from the talks), you can see that these people are nothing but terrorists." 

"We will begin this meeting with this topic," he said. He appeared to be referring to a car bomb on April 25 which a monitoring group said had killed at least six people.Istanbul's Be?ikta? returns to nest at brand new Vodafone ArenaErdo?an hosts Islamic Summit leaders on presidential yachtLast section of ?zmit Bay Bridge put into place Halfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childTurkish police raid Koza ?pek's media HQ in Istanbul amid protestsTurkey celebrates Republic Day against backdrop of political turbulenceLocal authorities in Ad?yaman stir outcry for sitting under tent as schoolkids get wet US destroyer completes exercise with Turkish NavyNew images of the construction of Istanbul's third bridgeTurkey marks the 77th anniversary of...
