Suicide Car Bomber Kills 50 Syrian Security Men; Believed Deadliest Attack on Pres. Assad's Forces

An Islamist suicide car bomber killed at least 50 Syrian security men in Hama province today (November 5, 2012) in one of the bloodiest single attacks on President Bashar al-Assad's forces in the 20-month-old uprising in Syria, according to the Reuters website.

Syrian state media reported that a  "terrorist" suicide bomber had targeted a rural development center in Sahl al-Ghab in Hama province.

Rami Abdelrahman -- head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights -- said the center was used by security forces and pro-Assad militia as one of their biggest bases in the area.

"A fighter from the Nusra Front drove his car to the center and then blew himself up," Abdelrahman said. "A series of explosions followed. At least 50 were killed," he added.
