ISIS claimed responsibility for suicide blasts that left at least 20 people dead and many more wounded in a predominantly Shiite area of Syria’s capital, NBC News reported.
The terror group released a statement claiming responsibility for killing and wounding more than 80 people in Damascus. Three suicide bombers denoted two explosive belts and one car bomb, according to global security firm Flashpoint Intelligence.
The death toll, which included civilians and pro-government fighters, is expected to rise because many of those injured were in critical condition.
Washington condemned the attack, State Department Secretary spokesman John Kirby said.
