Deadly violence tests Syria Eid ceasefire

A powerful car bomb in Damascus and fighting between government troops and opposition fighters elsewhere are testing a shaky temporary truce in the Syrian conflict on the occasion of the Muslim Eid al-Adha religious holiday.

State television on Friday said quoting "preliminary figures" that the "terrorist car bomb" in the capital had killed five people and wounded 32 others.
