geneva - The deadly bombings aimed at the Syrian Homs hindering the peace talks in Syria. That says UN representative Staffan de Mistura. 'It is in the interest of all parties that are against terrorism and seek a political solution in Syria to such attempts do not succeed,' said De Mistura.

In one of the attacks Saturday the head of military intelligence was slain in the city, along with 29 colleagues. Another attack at a building of the national security service took another twelve lives.

According to Syrian state television three suicide bombers blew themselves up at each of the two places.

Homs in western Syria is largely under the control of the Syrian army and has been repeatedly targeted by shelling by Islamic State.
