Video: Syria: massive explosion rocks Daraa Syrian activists claim opposition forces were responsible for the last which targeted a building where government forces are based in al-Manshieh neighbourhood of the province. In the footage posted online a voice can be heard saying: "Two brigades (names unclear) jointly detonate a car bomb in a Shabiha (pro-Assad militiamen) stronghold in al-Manshieh neighbourhood in Daraa." It was unclear how the camera operator knew what was being seen in the footage and it was also not possible to verify if the blast was caused by a car bomb. Syria's crisis began in March 2011 with largely peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad, and slowly turned into an insurgency and then a full-blown civil war. More than 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict, while another two million have sought refuge from the violence abroad.
