DAMASCUS, Syria — Twosuicide car bombs rippedthrough the Syrian capitalThursday, killing 55 peopleand tearing the facade off amilitary intelligence build-ing, the Interior Ministrysaid.
Residents said theblasts happened in quicksuccession during morningrush hour, with an initialsmall explosion followedby a larger bomb that ap-peared aimed at onlookersand rescue crews arrivingat the scene.
There was no claim ofresponsibility for Thurs-
day’s blasts. But an al-Qai-da-inspired group hasclaimed responsibility forseveral past explosions,raising fears that terroristgroups are exploiting thechaos.
In addition to the 55dead, the ministry saidemergency workers hadcollected 15 bags of humanremains, meaning thedeath toll was likely to rise.
More than 370 peoplewere wounded in the at-tack, according to the min-istry, which is in charge ofthe country’s internal secu-rity. It said the explosivesweighed more than a ton.
The U.S. condemned theattack, with State Depart-ment spokeswoman Victo-ria Nuland saying “any andall violence that results inthe indiscriminate killing
and injury of civilians isreprehensible and cannotbe justified.”
Central Damascus is un-der the tight control offorces loyal to PresidentBashar Assad but has been
struck by several bomb at-tacks, often targeting secu-rity installations or con-voys, since the revoltagainst him began inMarch 2011.
But the previous attacks
happened on a weekendwhen many people stayhome from work, making itless likely for civilians tobe killed. Thursday’s blastwas similar to attackswaged by al-Qaida in Iraq,which would bolster pastallegations by U.S. intelli-gence officials that the ter-ror network from theneighboring country wasthe likely culprit behindprevious bombings.
A shadowy group calledthe Al-Nusra Front hasclaimed responsibility forsome of the attacks in state-ments posted on militantwebsites. Little is knownabout the group, thoughWestern intelligence offi-cials say it could be a frontfor al-Qaida’s Iraq branch.
Al-Qaida leader Aymanal-Zawahri called for As-
sad’s ouster in February.“We strongly condemn
the twin bomb attacks thismorning in Damascus,which seem to have target-ed the maximum amount ofcasualties and damage andwhich we see as an act ofpure terrorism, from whatwe see initially,” said Mi-chael Mann, spokesman forEU foreign policy chiefCatherine Ashton.
The Syrian governmentblames the bombings onthe terrorists it says are be-hind the uprising, whichhas been the most potentchallenge to the Assad fam-ily dynasty in Syria in fourdecades. But oppositionleaders and activists rou-tinely blame the regime fororchestrating the attacks,saying they help it demo-nize the opposition.

LONDON — A shimmytoward the body scanner, astep into the booth and awave of the arms — routineprocedure now at U.S. air-ports, but not necessarilyin Europe.
In the wake of a foiledal-Qaida plot to bomb a jetheading to the U.S., it’s un-clear whether cash-strapped Europe has thelatest security equipmentto thwart an airliner attack,or whether machines willbe able to keep up with de-termined terrorists.
With the summer Olym-pics expected to draw mil-lions of visitors to London,airport security has takenon renewed urgency. A lookat the issues:
The debateTerror groups bent on
blowing up U.S.-bound jet-liners are experimentingwith explosives that usenon-metal detonators. Thatmeans bombs might bemissed by traditional metaldetectors. The question iswhether to switch to newer,expensive and more intru-sive scanners.
There are two types offull-body scanners in wideuse in U.S. airports. Back-scatter X-ray scanners em-ploy advanced imagingtechnology and small dosesof ionized radiation to de-tect objects concealed un-der a person’s clothing.Millimeter wave scannersuse radio frequencies forthe same purpose.
Peter Kant, executivevice president of RapiscanSystems, which makes theBackscatter, says the ma-chines have fewer blindspots, are fast and can de-tect both metal and otherpotential explosives con-cealed on someone’s body,though it’s unclear whetherthey can spot explosives in-side someone’s body cavity.The downside is they areexpensive and some havequestioned their safety.
Experts say trials of themillimeter wave technol-ogy in Rome and Helsinkiresulted in frequent falsealarms.
In airports outside theU.S., most passengers sim-ply go through metal detec-
tors and have their carry-on luggage scanned.
European resistanceEurope has never re-
quired full-body scans, andefforts to install U.S.-stylebackscatter machineswere stalled last year whenthe European Commissionordered a study into theirsafety.
An independent bodyhas since found that littlerisk is involved. But it’s toosoon to say when — if ever— advanced machinesmight be installed in Euro-pean airports. Some costmore than $160,000, and incash-strapped Europe,that’s a hefty price.
Even in Britain, whichcan opt out of some EU dic-tates, there are only 20 orso backscatter machines.And those are only in trialusage.
In the United States, theTransportation SecurityAdministration “is both thecustomer and the operator,whereas in Europe and oth-er regions the regulatorsets requirements and theairport picks up the bill,”says Ben Vogel of IHSJane’s Airport Review.“The mix of stakeholdersin Europe often leads to di-vergent positions on em-bracing technologicalchange.”
Olympic worriesThe Olympic torch ar-
rives in Britain next weekwith a controversy ragingover border security.
Staff shortages, poorplanning and a fear of ra-cial profiling are beingblamed for chaos at someof the country’s busiest air-ports, according to JohnVine, the independent chiefinspector of borders andimmigration who issued adamning report on theproblems Thursday.
Britain’s governmenthas previously acknowl-edged that security equip-ment at airports is onlyabout 60 percent effectivein detecting potentiallyhazardous items.
Still, the investment inOlympics security hasbeen massive. Troops,armed police, warships andair-to-surface missiles willall be on standby to protectthe public.
