A CAR bomb has struck a pro-government neighbourhood in the central Syrian city of Homs, killing at least 10 people, setting cars on fire and sending thick plumes of black smoke into the sky, activists and a government official say.
The blast in the Zahra district, which is predominantly inhabited by Alawites and Christians, sent tremors through Homs, where rebels and the government have struck two ceasefire deals this month that have restored at least a semblance of peace to the shattered city.
The provincial governor, Talal Barazzi, said the attack targeted such reconciliation efforts in Homs.
An official in the Homs governor's office said 10 people were killed in the explosion on Sunday and more than 40 were wounded.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to brief the media.
The director of the opposition Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights group, Rami Abdurrahman, put the death toll at 12.
He also said more than 40 were wounded.
Differing death tolls are common in the immediate aftermath of attacks in Syria.
Syrian state television blamed the bombing on "terrorists".
The station broadcast footage that showed cars on fire and people trying to push other vehicles away from the blast site.
