A blast has hit a bus in a crowded suburb of the Syrian capital of Damascus, leaving several people killed and more injured.

The incident took place at around 9 am local time (0700 GMT) on Thursday when a bus carrying Iranian pilgrims exploded at a gas station near Damascus, Press TV correspondent reported.

Syria's Interior Minister Said Mohammad Sammour said three people were killed in the incident, which he said was not a terrorist attack but a tyre exploding as it was being repaired.

"Two workers who were repairing the tyre and the bus's driver, who was standing near them, were killed in the explosion," he told reporters at the scene of the incident.
I'm no mechanic... but I'm calling bull$#@!. When is the last time in the US someone was repairing a tire and three people died?
