More warped atrocities by the terrorists...
"BEIRUT—At least six people were killed in a bomb attack on a bus carrying Shiite pilgrims from Lebanon near a historical marketplace in Damascus, Syria, on Sunday.
In a statement released via Twitter, Jabhat al Nusra, or the Nusra Front, a branch of al Qaeda in Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack and applauded the suicide bomber they said was responsible.
SANA, the Syrian state news agency, and al Manar, owned by the Shiite group Hezbollah, said explosives were on the bus and had detonated.
“The bus was badly destroyed and there were body parts everywhere,” said Maher Almounes, a resident of Damascus who was present at the aftermath of the explosion at the entrance of the Souk al-Hamidieh.
The attack took place during a crowded time at the marketplace, Mr. Almounes said. “People were terrified and so confused,” he added."
