At least 34 people have been killed and more than 50 others injured after a car bomb explosion, claimed by foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists, rocked the al-Hurra village in the central Syrian province of Hama.    

The car bomb went off on Friday morning in the al-Hurra village in Hama city countryside.

A coalition of terrorist-affiliated groups calling itself “the Islamic Front” has claimed responsibility for the attack.

On Thursday, a car bomb exploded in the city of Homs, to the south of Hama, killing at least six people. The bombing was the second attack in Homs - Syria's third largest city - in less than a week.

Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since March 2011. Over 160,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions displaced due to the violence fueled by the foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists.

According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey -- are supporting the Takfiris fighting the legitimate government of Syrian president al-Assad.
