Two explosions rocked Damascus on Friday, leaving at least 10 people dead, as international concerns mount over Syria’s deteriorating cease-fire, Voice of America reported.

One blast occurred near a mosque where anti-government protesters gather after Friday prayers. The government called it a suicide bombing orchestrated by “terrorists.”

Earlier, there was an explosion in a nearby industrial zone.

The violence came as thousands of protesters calling for President Bashar al-Assad’s departure rallied in cities, including the flashpoints of Aleppo and Hama.

International criticism continued Friday from the US, the European Union and some UN. officials who say Syria’s has failed to abide by terms of a peace plan brokered by international envoy Kofi Annan.
