Syrian state media said on Sunday that an Islamist insurgent had confessed after his arrest to being behind two car bomb blasts that killed 37 people in the south of the country on Friday, including a Druze leader. The explosions had provoked protests by Druze in the city of Sweida during which six government security personnel were killed and a statue of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's father was destroyed, a monitor said. A Lebanese Druze leader who backs the uprising against Assad had blamed the government for the killing of Sheikh Wahid al-Balous.
