Eleven people were killed as a result of two blasts in the Syrian city of Aleppo, Al-Jazeera TV channel reported. No report is available about injured people.

The blasts in Aleppo took place in front of the headquarters of military intelligence in Halab Jadid district in Aleppo and in front of security forces unit on the Sakhour Square with intervals of five minutes - at about 9:00 and 9:05 local time.

This is the first terror act in Aleppo, which, like Damascus, remains almost unaffected by anti-government demonstrations.

Anti-government protests, which began in mid-March, continue in Syria for already ten months. Daily reports are received about death of people - both civilians and security forces. According to the UN statistics, the total number of victims in the country exceeds 5,000 people. The Syrian authorities accuse armed militants of the clashes, who receive assistance from neighboring countries.
