As government talks founder, car bomb rocks Syrian city

Beirut – Several car bombs rocked the southern Syrian city of Daraa on Saturday, a day in which opposition activists meeting abroad failed again to reach agreement about the shape of a government-in-exile acceptable to the United States and other nations sympathetic to the rebellion against President Bashar Assad.

The explosions in Daraa come as escalating turmoil envelops Syria amid new United Nations warnings that a humanitarian crisis could morph into a catastrophe. Colder, wetter weather is complicating efforts to aid about 2 million people already displaced by the fighting.

The government and the opposition gave divergent accounts of the bombings in Daraa, 60 miles south of Damascus, the capital.

The opposition said a pair of car bombs targeted military installations in Daraa, killing at least 20 soldiers.

Government media said “terrorists” – their official label for armed rebels – detonated three car bombs on public streets, killing seven civilians and injuring others.
