If true (and previous reports were) this would be more proof Al-Qaeda is active among the rebels.

AMMAN – An explosion killed seven people and wounded several others in the southern Syrian town of Deraa on Saturday, residents said, in what the Syrian government said was a suicide car bomb attack.

“At least seven people were killed and another eight injured. They happened to be next to the car when it exploded,” Saed Jawabra, a Deraa resident said.

Opposition activists denied that the explosion was caused by a bomber but did not give an explanation for the reported attack.

Residents said a white Kia car exploded in a park near a military checkpoint in the town’s Rawda district, shattering windows in the area and leaving a huge crater.

“A terrorist suicide bomber on Saturday detonated a car he was driving,” the Syrian state news agency Sana said, reporting two people had been killed and 20 wounded.
