IS claims string of deadly bombings across Syria

The Islamic State jihadist group claims responsibility for a spate of bomb attacks that left dozens dead in mostly government-controlled territory across Syria.

The statement from the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency says the jihadist group was behind a “string of simultaneous suicide attacks” in Damascus, coastal Tartus, central Homs, and Hasakeh in the northeast.

At least 48 people died in the attacks, Syrian state media report.
