Syria says ‘terrorists’ blow up gas pipeline

BEIRUT – Syria’s state news agency says an armed “terrorist” group has blown up a gas pipeline.

SANA said the pipeline carries gas from the central province of Homs to an area near the border with Lebanon. Further details on Monday’s blast were not released.

There have been several pipeline attacks since the Syrian uprising began in mid-March, but it is not clear who is behind them.

President Bashar Assad’s regime blames “terrorists” for the country’s 10-month-old uprising.
