Suicide bombers in south Syrian city kill at least 20 regime troops

BEIRUT (AP) — Suicide car bombings ripped through a Syrian government base in a southern city on Saturday, killing at least 20 soldiers, an opposition group said, the latest in a series of explosions targeting regime forces and symbols of state security across the country.

The explosions in Daraa were followed by clashes between regime forces and rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad, activists said. [...]

It said at least 20 soldiers were killed, most in the second explosion.
