Mangled, bloodied bodies as well as severed limbs lay on the pavement outside the targeted buildings, as shown in live footage on Syrian television, which consistently portrays the revolt against Assad as the work of foreign-backed "terrorists."
No one claimed responsibility for the attacks in Syria's second city, as officials put the total death toll in the two blasts at 25. But they came as Assad's forces grow more ferocious in operations to stamp out the popular uprising.
The building was a military security complex, so the bombing appears to be by the opposition, but it's not clear where the bomb was located. Some of the casualties are clearly civilian but they don't say whether the bomb was on the street, in a vehicle, or a suicide bomber, which would be disconcerting.
