'Bomb Blasts' In Syria Amid London Protest

At least 27 people have reportedly been killed in two suicide car bombings in the Syrian capital on the same day a protest march against the Assad regime took place in London.
A police headquarters and an air force intelligence centre in Damascus were targeted, according to Syrian state television which blamed the attacks on "terrorists".
But the opposition said the bombings were staged by the authorities to justify the government's continued crackdown on the year-long uprising.
The blasts, which also injured 140 people, blew out windows and sent debris flying through the air.
One elderly man, whose head was wrapped in a bandage, said: "We heard a huge explosion. At that moment, the doors in our house were blown out ... even though we were some distance from the blast."
Meanwhile, around 1,000 people marched through central London to demonstrate against the Syrian government's crackdown.
Many gathered outside the Syrian embassy. Among those was photographer Paul Conroy who was injured in an attack in Homs that killed his Sunday Times colleague Marie Colvin.
He told Sky News why he was there. Mr Conroy said: "It is a case of keeping the awareness of what is happening in Syria at the moment, since myself, Marie (Colvin) and the activists in Homs ceased to be able to work after the destruction of the media centre.
"To keep the awareness of the Syrian situation in the public eye.
"The regime are putting out their misinformation propaganda and I think it is important that while we have now had the destruction of Homs, this will continue throughout the country.
"I think we have a debt of honour to everyone that died in Homs to keep the situation alive and keep the awareness high."
One year into the Syrian uprising, the fight to oust President Bashar al Assad is transforming into a nascent civil war.
And United Nations and Arab League crisis envoy Kofi Annan has warned of an "escalation" of the conflict to the rest of the Middle East unless it is handled carefully.
Syria has seen a string of suicide bombings, the last major one on February 10, when twin blasts struck security compounds in the government stronghold of Aleppo, killing 28 people.
Damascus, another stronghold of President Bashar al Assad, has seen three suicide previous bombings since December.
The regime has touted the attacks as proof that it is being targeted by "terrorists."
Nobody has claimed responsibility for the explosions.
The UN estimates that more than 8,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Assad began last March.
