"AMMAN (Reuters) - An explosion killed seven people and wounded several others in the southern Syrian town of Deraa on Saturday, residents said, in what the Syrian government said was a suicide car bomb attack.
"At least seven people were killed and another eight injured. They happened to be next to the car when it exploded," Saed Jawabra, a Deraa resident said.
Residents said a white Kia car exploded in a park near a military checkpoint in the town's Rawda district, shattering windows in the area and leaving a huge crater.
"A terrorist suicide bomber on Saturday detonated a car he was driving," the Syrian state news agency Sana said, reporting two people had been killed and 20 wounded.
Opposition activists in Deraa denied the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber but did not give an explanation for the attack."

Take note of the reference to the members of the Syrian opposition and their failure to provide an explanation for the attack.
Perhaps they have realised that their previous attempts to blame suicide bombings and assasinations on the regime, in a deceitful attempt to shift the blame in the eyes of the gullible Western press, are becoming less convincing.
If one was to ascribe to their narrative it won't be long before Assad starts blowing up members of his family and maybe even himself, all in the name of an evil plot to discredit the peaceful opposition insurgents and Al Qaeda fighters. The idea that they might actually be doing what they do best, blowing themselves and others up just couldn't be true could it.
