An unfortunate accident in Syria, today, as a bus exploded while being pumped. It is believed the bus contained Iranian pilgrims, on their way to Sayyida Zeinab shrine for Shia Muslims.
Last year a car bomb killed 17 people on a road leading to the shrine. The bombing was blamed on Sunni militants, however Syrian Interior Minister Said Sammour ruled the bus explosion as an accident. Unfortunately, three people died at the scene, including a thirteen year-old boy.
The official story is that as air was being pumped into the tire, it ruptured and exploded, however pictures and videos of the actual bus may cause some people to be skeptical. The entire bus is ripped in half, which many believe would not occur had a tire exploded.
BBC video of the bus explosion.
Do you think the bus exploded because of the tire? Post comments in the comment sections.
