A bomb attack in Damascus has killed 14 and left three injured, Syrian state TV Sana has reported, releasing video of emergency services searching the burnt out remains of the bus, the news agency said a bomb squad defused a third device planted in the same area. A military bus was the target of two bombs Wednesday morning, the deadliest attack in the capital since a bombing claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group targeted the Justice Palace in March 2017, killing at least 30 people. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing but moments later shelling by government forces killed eight people in the Idlib region, which is controlled by groups that have claimed to have carried out such attacks in the past
