Shafaq News- Damascus
A judicial official was injured on
Tuesday after an explosive device targeted his vehicle in Damascus countryside,
a security source told Shafaq News.
The source identified the injured
official as Salah Ahmad al-Saleh, head of the Justice Palace department in the
town of Babila. The bomb, planted by unidentified individuals, detonated as his
vehicle passed through the Daff al-Shawk neighborhood.
Security agencies have launched an
investigation to determine the circumstances of the attack and identify those
responsible. No group has claimed responsibility, and Syrian authorities have
yet to comment on the incident.
Damascus witnessed several bomb
attacks in May. A car bomb near a military facility in the Bab al-Sharqi area
killed one person and wounded 18 others, a roadside bomb in the Sayyida Zaynab
district injured a civilian, and an improvised explosive device planted aboard
a public transportation bus in the al-Wurood neighborhood wounded four people.
No party claimed responsibility for
those attacks. However, ISIS later claimed responsibility for the killing of
Sheikh Farhan al-Mansour, preacher of the Sayyida Zaynab Shrine, in a car
bombing near the Safir al-Zahraa Hotel.
