Two suicide bombers detonated twin car bombs in Damascus, Syria on Wednesday, killing at least 34 people, the Associated Press reports:

Wednesday’s bombs went off in a parking lot near commercial buildings as groups of laborers and employees were arriving for work, killing 34 and injuring 83 people, state-run news agency SANA said.

The blasts sent people fleeing in panic, shattering windows and littering the streets with glass, debris and pools of blood. Several commercial buildings were damaged, and dozens of cars were reduced to smoldering wreckage.
