BEIRUT (AP) ? Syria's state news agency says a booby-trapped car has exploded in a Damascus suburb, killing a number of civilians.
SANA says Tuesday's blast in Jaramana targeted a funeral procession for two people who were killed a day earlier in the area.
It says it is the third bombing in Jaramana in the past 24 hours.
SANA says that an explosive device detonated in a car in Jaramana on Monday killed its driver. It says the device was attached to the car by an armed "terrorist" group.
Another car blew up in the area overnight, also killing the driver.
No further details were immediately available. It was not clear whether the targeted funeral procession Tuesday was for those killed in the earlier blasts.
