Syria's opposition militants on Friday called for an international investigation into the twin bombings in Damascus that killed at least 55 people and injured at around 370, dpa reported. "The international community should intervene to save the Syrian people from this brutal regime," the Syrian Free Army, representing militants fighting for the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, said in a statement. "The world should send a team of investigators to determine who was behind the blasts that killed innocent people." Two suicide bombers on Thursday detonated cars packed with explosives in al-Kazaz area of the capital, according to the government. The attack, the deadliest in the 14 months since the Syrian uprising began, marked the worst violation of a United Nations-brokered ceasefire in effect since April 12. It has prompted authorities to beef up security in Damascus, with additional security checkpoints and troops deployed, activists said. Opposition groups have called for anti-government protests after Friday prayers.
