Syria opposition calls Damascus bombing a government plot

Dozens of people are reported to be dead after a blast in the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Syrian state TV said at least 25 people died and 46 more were wounded in Friday's attack which it blamed on a suicide bomber.

The explosion, which targeted the central district of al-Maidan, a hub for anti-government protests, was described by the opposition as a government plot.
