Syria: Car Bomb Kills Seven People

Up to seven people, including women and children, have been killed in a car bomb explosion close to Damascus, according to Syrian state television.

The car was parked near the Amari Mosque in Kanaker, a town south of the capital, the channel reported.

The blast occurred as a prominent Syrian pro-government figure was assassinated at his home in southern Lebanon in what some observers say is the latest sign of Syria's civil war spilling over into its smaller neighbour.

Mohammed Darrar Jammo wasshot nearly 30 times in the coastal town of Sarafand, a stronghold of the Shiite militant Hizbollah group, officials said.

The 44-year-old political analyst was one of President Bashar al Assad's most vociferous defenders.

Mr Jammo was a strong supporter of Syria's President Assad

He appeared frequently on TV talk shows where he would staunchly support the Syrian regime's strong-armed response to the uprising and in at least one case branded opposition figures "traitors".

Assassinations of politicians, army officers and journalists who support Mr Assad's regime are not uncommon in Syria, but the killing of a well-known Syrian in Lebanon is rare.

Meanwhile, Turkey has fired into Syria after a teenager was killed by a stray bullet.

The Turkish army said it was retaliating after the 17-year-old died near the border with Syria.

It is not the first accidental death in a border incident - five people were killed last October when shells fired from Syria struck a Turkish village.
