Several killed in suicide bombing at Damascus church

Several people were killed and dozens injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a Greek Orthodox church in Syria's capital Damascus on Sunday. That's according to local health authorities and security sources. Syria's interior ministry said the suicide bomber was a member of Islamic State. He entered the Mar Elias Church, opened fire and detonated his explosive vest. A security source said two men were involved in the attack, including the one who blew himself up. The priest said he heard gunfire outside the church before two people entered with explosive belts and detonated them during Sunday Mass. It was the first suicide bombing in Damascus since former President Bashar al-Assad was toppled by an Islamist-led rebel insurgency in December. The latest assault underscores Islamic State's continued ability to exploit security gaps despite the collapse of its territorial control and years of counterterrorism efforts.
