BEIRUT (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th May, 2019) A special unit of the Syrian security services has defused an explosives-laden car in the Zahra district of the western Syrian city of Homs, local media reported on Wednesday.
The car contained C-4 plastic explosives, the state-run Syrian Arab news Agency specified.
No other details have been revealed so far.
Zahra has been subject to attacks more often than any other Homs' district, since it is home to numerous families of servicemen and members of Shiite militias. It has been therefore targeted by Sunni rebels, including those wishing to undermine the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is a member of the Alawite religious group, which is largely represented in Zahra.
