Baku-APA. Thousands of people attended a government-organized funeral in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Saturday for the victims of a bomb attack, APA reports quoting RİA Novosti.

At least 26 people died in Friday’s blast, with some of the dead from the security forces.

The government said the blast was carried out by a suicide bomber. The opposition says the authorities were behind the explosion, which took place as Arab League monitors are in the country to assess the progress of a regional peace plan.

The UN says more than 5,000 civilians have been killed since protests against President Bashar al-Assad began 10 months ago.

The opposition says the government clampdown has continued, with dozens of deaths since the arrival of the monitors.
