- AMMAN: A car bomb killed a schoolgirl on Monday and wounded 25 others at a school in the southern Syrian city of Daraa, the scene of sporadic street fighting between Free Syrian Army rebels and President Bashar Assad’s troops, an opposition activist said.
“The car exploded at nine in the morning in Al-Kashef neighborhood in front of Al-Mahatta High School for Girls, which has been active in (anti-Assad) demonstrations,” Maher Abdelhaq told Reuters from the city on the border with Jordan.
