BEIRUT: Twin car bombs at a military officers' club in southern Syria killed at least 20 soldiers on Saturday, a watchdog said.
The two bombs exploded minutes apart in the back garden of the club in the city of Daraa, cradle of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
State news agency SANA confirmed two car bombs had hit Daraa and caused casualties, but provided no other details. (AFP)
