AMMAN, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Several people were killed and scores were injured on Thursday when an explosive device was detonated in a busy residential district in the western Syrian city of Homs, state media said on Thursday.
The blast, in a main square of the government-held Zahra district in the middle of the city, came a day after Syrian government jets bombed a rebel-held district of Homs, killing at least nine people, mostly civilians.
