Suicide bombing kills 2 in central Syria

A suicide bomber blew up a tanker in Syria's central province of Hama on Friday, killing two people and injuring four others, the state-run SANA news agency reported. The blast, which took place near the town of Taiba on the road linking Hama with Aleppo city, also left property loss, according to SANA. The report spelled no further details. Blasts and mortar attacks have become increasingly common in Syria after two years of deadly conflict that has killed more than 70,000 people. The Syrian government has repeatedly accused the Nusra Front, an offshoot of al-Qaida group of being behind the deadly explosions nationwide.
