BEIRUT (Reuters) - Twin bomb blasts in the Syrian capital Damascus killed 29 people and wounded more than 103, pro-government news channel Ikhbaria quoted Syrian Health Minister Wael Nader al-Halki as saying on Thursday.

One of the rush hour explosions hit a district that houses a military intelligence complex involved in President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on a 14-month uprising.
