More than 100,000 people have been killed in the bloodshed and over 2 million people have been displaced as refugees.<br /><br />At least 30 people were killed on October 20, when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden truck near the premises of an agricultural vehicle company, in the city of Hama. The explosion also set off a fuel truck, which increased the damage and casualties. At the beginning of the war in Syria, Hama was the scene of large-scale anti-government demonstrations.<br /><br />On April 30, at least 13 people were killed and over 70 injured after a massive car bomb in Damascus. The bomb went off in the Marjeh district, a historic part of the capital, near the Semiramis hotel, which was once home to the Ministry of Interior Affairs. - <a href="http://rt.com/news/syria-suicide-bombing-war-326/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>RT</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>
