Souq Wadi Barada Car Bomb Incident

On October 25, 2013, dozens of civilians were killed when a car bomb detonated at a mosque in a rebel-held town of Wadi al-Barada. Rebels blamed government forces, the government blamed careless rebels who were preparing it at the mosque for use elsewhere when it went off. The final death toll seems to be at least 44, with dozens more injured, fears the toll could hit 100, and reports it was nearly 200.

The CDV database shows: All 45 martyrs killed by "explosion" in Damascus suburbs, Oct. 25. The bottom one (Snowbar) happened to die that day from injuries received in a previous car bombing a month earlier, it says. Otherwise, 44 victims listed, all civilian. Notes for each or many says: "Dozens of civilians were killed as a result of a car bomb explosion in front of the "Osama bin Zaid" mosque, in Wadi Barada main market, after the "Friday prayers"‬," and the two videos below are linked. No non-civilian car-bomb tinkerers seem to be listed among them, but the first entry seems to be 107 Unidentified, the only one (a foreign bomb-wiring expert?) they didn't come up with an ID for.
