A powerful car bomb exploded in a suburb of the Syrian capital Thursday, killing 10 people and wounding dozens of others, AP quoted Syria's state-run news agency as saying. The explosion in Jaramana, just few kilometers (miles) southeast of Damascus, came as the United Nations' top official said more than 100,000 people have been killed in the ongoing civil war gripping Syria. The state news agency SANA reported that the explosion caused heavy damage to nearby buildings and destroyed many cars. It said 62 people were wounded. Jaramana is a neighborhood that overwhelmingly supports the government of Bashar Assad. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing.
