Gruesome images from the sites showed what appeared to be smouldering bodies in two separate vehicles, a wrecked minivan smeared with blood, and severed limbs collected in sacks.

At least 27 people were killed and 97 were wounded, another television channel said, quoting Health Minister Wael al-Halki.
