The Latest: Blasts kill 22 in Damascus suburb

BEIRUT (AP) – The Latest on the civil war in Syria (all times local):

5:30 p.m.

Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV says explosions in a suburb of the Syrian capital killed 22 people and wounded dozens.

Al-Manar said Sunday’s blasts were caused by a car bomb and two suicide attackers. Hezbollah is fighting alongside Syrian government forces and maintains a large presence in the Sayyida Zeinab area, where the blasts took place.

Syrian state TV showed still images of people running, damaged homes and billowing smoke. It provided no death toll. State TV earlier said two of the blasts were car bombs while the other two were suicide attackers on foot.
