More than 30 people were killed Saturday in attacks on two Syrian security offices in the central city of Homs.
According to al-Ikhbariya, at least six assailants attacked the two security compounds in Homs,
clashing with security officers before at least two of them detonated their explosives.
The attacks are among the most spectacular against security agencies in the six-year-old conflict — a coordinated operation
against two heavily secured government buildings using a combination of armed assaults and suicide bombings.
