Bomb in Palestinian camp in Damascus kills 4

November 24, 2012 00:52

A bomb blast in a Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus killed four people and seriously wounded a member of a faction that has backed Syrian President Bashar Assad in the country's bitter civil war, activists said today.

Syria's Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, lashed out at neighboring Turkey, which has sheltered anti-Assad fighters. The ministry denounced Turkey's request for NATO Patriot surface-to-air missiles along its border with Syria as "a new provocative step."

Turkey made the request earlier this week to bolster its defenses and prevent a spillover of the Syrian civil war onto its territory. The Damascus explosion late yesterday in the Yarmouk camp targeted the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, the Palestinian group said.
