Syria conflict: Double car bombings in Homs 'kill 25'

Two car bombs have exploded in the Syrian city of Homs, killing at least 25 people and wounding scores more, state news agency Sana says.

The report blamed "terrorists" for the blasts, half an hour apart, in the Karam al-Luz district.

In a separate development, the rebel-held town of Rankous, north of Damascus, is reported to have fallen to government forces.
