Q: “Words cannot describe the scene. It was shocking,” she said, with many buildings and cars on the surrounding streets damaged. Photographs of the area showed a roughly six-story building with its facade torn off, the floors dangling one on top of the others in a cascade of broken concrete and twisted support rods. A fine layer of dust covered a wide space, with small pools of blood and a large crater in one road. 
  
 The government said two suicide bombers carried out the Idlib blasts in what it called terrorist attacks, which came within minutes of each other. The opposition said the government had staged the attacks and had blamed jihadi networks to convince United Nations monitors that the opposition was responsible for sabotaging the cease-fire in place since April 12.

 Syria’s state-run television showed outraged citizens in the vicinity of the bombings or in the hospital repeating a standard government line. “Is this the freedom they want?” said one woman near a group of wounded men lying on stretchers. “They want death. This is the murder of innocent people.” 
  
 But activists wondered how anyone wanting to attack government buildings at the center of Idlib could have approached them, since the military had turned the administrative center at the heart of the city into an armed camp after the uprising gathered momentum last year. 
  
 “There are government buildings on all sides — it has been called the ‘security zone’ since the uprising started,” said Abou Salid, an activist in Idlib reached via Skype, using a nickname to avoid repercussions. “It’s impossible for anyone to sneak in or even to get close.”

 Activists reported a third blast later in the day, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. No independent reporters are allowed to circulate freely in Syria — although such access is required under one provision in the peace plan the government has accepted. So it is difficult to assess the constant claims and counterclaims. 
  
 From Damascus, government news media broadcast pictures of damage to the facade of the Central Bank, with a hole in the facing of one of the pillars, which official accounts said had been made by terrorists firing a rocket-propelled grenade. In a separate attack, the government said, four police officers in Damascus were wounded when their patrol car was struck with a rocket-propelled grenade. 
  
 If antigovernment forces were responsible for the attacks, particularly the two in Damascus, that would suggest that they were attempting to show the ability to strike at the heart of the capital despite more than a year of harsh repression. 
  
 “Neither I nor my family feel secure living in Damascus,” said Basil, a 40-year-old resident who said he heard the attack on the Central Bank around 1:30 a.m., but emerged onto the street only to find security forces blanketing the area. “The government has been singing about the security and stability in Syria, but now Syria is neither.”

 On Friday, a suicide bombing in a suburb of the capital killed at least nine people. 
  
 The attacks, particularly the rush by both sides to assert their versions, highlighted the challenge facing the small team of about 16 unarmed observers trying to monitor the truce negotiated by Kofi Annan, the special envoy for the United Nations and the Arab League. Most of the plan’s provisions remain unfulfilled, even if the level of violence has lessened somewhat. ||||| Syria's state-run news agency says two blasts in the northwestern city of Idlib have killed at least eight people and caused serious damage, amid appeals by the head of the UN observer mission in the country for both sides to stop fighting. 
  
 SANA said civilians and security officers were among those killed in Monday's bombings. 
  
 State media blamed the attacks on "armed terrorists", a term it uses to describe those trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad. 
  
 State television said monitors from the UN team sent in to oversee an18-day-old ceasefire were visiting the scene in Idlib. 
  
 Opposition activists said the explosions went off outside a security compound and near a hotel where the UN observers were staying. 
  
 Al Jazeera's Rula Amin, reporting from Beirut in neighbouring Lebanon, quoted the activists as saying that "two huge explosions took place [in Idlib] near two security buildings, one of which belongs to the air force intelligence, and the other to the military security". 
  
 Activists' accounts 
  
  
  
 According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), more than 20 people were killed in the Idlib blasts. 
  
 The majority of those killed were members of the security forces, the UK-based opposition group said. 
  
 A third blast rocked Idlib hours after the twin explosions, SOHR said. 
  
 "An explosion shook the university neighbourhood in Idlib ... and there are reports of wounded," it said. 
  
 The SOHR reported a separate powerful blast near the capital, Damascus, that caused casualties. 
  
 "A strong explosion shook the suburbs of Qudsiya and it appears it was a car bomb," it said. "Initial reports indicate there are casualties." 
  
  
  
 Al Jazeera is unable to independently verify reports of violence, as the Syrian government has placed strict restrictions on reporting. 
  
 Another opposition monitoring group, the Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC), confirmed that it had received reports of several "suspicious explosions" early on Monday in Damascus "in or near several government buildings, including the official state media and television office; a security centre in Rukneddine; and the Central Bank building in Sabaa Bahrat Square". 
  
 'Escalation in bombings' 
  
 Al Jazeera's Rula Amin said: "We have seen in the past two weeks an escalation in the bombings and targeting of the security officers and security buildings. 
  
 "The government has been blaming al-Qaeda for these attacks and they want to make sure this narrative overruns any other narrative. 
  
  
  
 "What we are hearing from the activists again is blaming the government in order to fortify and strengthen that kind of argument. So again, they are accusing each other, but on the ground it is an escalation." 
  
 The head of UN observer mission to Syria says 'even 1,000 unarmed observers cannot solve all problems' [Reuters] 
  
 Jihad Makdissi, Syrian foreign ministry spokesperson, said the head of the UN mission, Norwegian General Robert Mood, was being briefed on "violations by armed opposition". 
  
 The blasts took place in spite of the UN-backed ceasefire that came into effect on April 12 but has failed to stop the violence. 
  
  
  
 Mood urged all sides on Sunday to abide by the ceasefire as he arrived in Damascus to take command of the UN military observer mission. 
  
  
  
 The peace plan - arranged by Kofi Annan, UN and Arab League envoy - calls for a commitment to stop all armed violence; a daily two-hour humanitarian ceasefire; media access to all areas affected by the fighting; an inclusive Syrian-led political process; a right to demonstrate; and the release of arbitrarily detained people. 
  
 The UN ceasefire monitors are gradually arriving in Syria, with 30 out of a planned 300 now on the ground. 
  
 Mood, a veteran of previous Middle Eastern peace missions, has acknowledged the huge task awaiting the unarmed mission but says he is confident it could make headway. 
  
 "We will be only 300 but we can make a difference," he said in Damascus on Sunday. "Thirty unarmed observers, 300 unarmed observers, even 1,000 unarmed observers cannot solve all the problems." 
  
 Speaking to Al Jazeera from Beirut, Joseph Kechichian, a Middle East analyst, said: "Since April 12, when the ceasefire was supposed to come into effect, almost 500 people have been killed on both sides in Syria. The presence of the UN observers is not making any difference whatsoever." |||||
A: 
Two large explosions rocked the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib, killing as many as 20 people, reports al-Jazeera. Both bombs exploded near air force intelligence and military security buildings, and most of those killed were members of security forces, although some civilians were also reported to be among the dead. Some reports said the attacks were made by suicide bombers. The Syrian state-run news agency put the number killed at eight, blaming the attack, as usual, on "armed terrorists." Rebels also reportedly fired rockets at the Syrian Central Bank building in Damascus this morning, and the New York Times reports that if true, the strike would indicate a push by the rebels to damage symbols of state power. Government reports said no one was injured and the building suffered only "material damages" in the attack. In addition, a car bomb was reported in the suburbs of Damascus, injuring four police officers. Coming after a huge blast killed 70 in Hama last week, analysts are increasingly calling the April 12 ceasefire a failure.
