The bomber detonated his explosives as worshippers were about to hear a sermon by Shia Muslim cleric Saed Ramadan al-Bouti, known for his anti-terrorism sermons and criticism of the extremist actions of Syrian rebels.
Recently, a wave of attacks targeting pro-government figures has become increasingly common in the context of the two-year-long crisis in Syria that has turned into a civil war, especially with the increasing appearance of extremist Islamic jihadists./.
