Syrian authorities say they have arrested several suspects over a series of bombings in Damascus, including explosions that occurred while French President Emmanuel Macron was visiting the city. Multiple outlets report that the Interior Ministry announced the arrests and said security forces dismantled an alleged cell responsible for the attacks. The reporting ties the arrests to blasts during Macron’s visit and describes a broader bombing campaign rather than a single incident. One account says the explosions include an attack involving a device detonating in or near a café close to Damascus’ main judicial complex, where at least 10 people were killed and more than 20 others were wounded. Another outlet says a government official attributed responsibility to Islamic State, though Islamic State has not been reported as claiming responsibility. The coverage also notes the political context of Macron’s trip, which was described as part of efforts to restore or improve relations between France and Syria. Sources consistently present the arrests as Syrian claims, with no independent verification of the cell’s identity or responsibility detailed in the provided reports.
