At least 32 people were killed and 90 wounded in two bomb explosions in the Syrian city of Homs on Monday, monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.<\/p>\n
The blasts, one from a car bomb and another from a suicide attack, struck the Zahra district in the middle of the city, said the Britain-based Observatory, which monitors the conflict through a network of contacts on the ground.<\/p>\n
Syria\u2019s state news agency SANA reported two car bomb blasts, but gave a lower initial toll of six dead and 37 wounded.<\/p>\n
It was the second major attack in the city since a ceasefire deal took effect earlier this month, paving the way for the government to take over the last rebel-controlled area of Homs.<\/p>\n
Twin blasts on Dec. 12, also in Zahra, killed at least 16 people. Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for that attack, saying it had detonated a suicide car bomb.<\/p>\n
Under the Homs ceasefire deal, at least 700 insurgent fighters and members of their families left.<\/p>\n
