Syria: Children among Damascus bomb victims

(Vatican Radio) - At least 10 people have been killed in a car bombing in the Syrian capital Damascus, state media report, on the fourth day of a supposed ceasefire. Nathan Morley reports:

State TV said women and children were among the victims of the attack in the south-eastern area of of the city. Earlier, activists said government jets had bombed the city's Harasta district.
Meanwhile, after talks Monday in Moscow with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said he was sorry a holiday cease-fire did not take hold, but that the failure would not discourage efforts to find a solution.
The envoy also said the United Nations is not sending a peacekeeping operation to Syria.
He had called for the Syrian government and rebels opposed to President Bashar al-Assad to observe a truce during the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, but both sides continued fighting.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 110 Syrians were killed in fighting Sunday.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed deep disappointment that the cease-fire failed to take hold. During a speech Monday in South Korea, Ban called on the international community to do more to help stop the fighting.
He said that as long as there are international divisions, the suffering of the Syrian people will only grow.
