Eight people lost their lives and about sixteen others wounded in Syria’s Homs city when a bomb planted inside passenger bus exploded on Tuesday, December 5, 2017. According to the information our correspondent gathered, many of the passengers inside the bus were university students and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. The bomb exploded on a street in the Akrameh neighbourhood which is mostly inhabited by members of the Alawite minority to which President Bashar al-Assad of Syria belongs. Syria government with the help of Russia retook the city of Homs in May 2017 when the last rebel fighters were evacuated.
