It remains unclear who carried out the double-bombing in Damascus on
Saturday, but accusations continue to be levelled at both sides. Al-Baath newspaper, mouthpiece of Syria's ruling party of the same name, is blaming the attacks on 'terrorists supported by foreign powers which finance and arm them'.
State television shows a rally in the capital held by President Bashar al-Assad's supporters.
At the same time, the rebels say the government carried the explosions that killed 27 people in a bid to get international support.
The unrest appears to be spreading eastwards, with more reports of protests and violence in the city of Raqqa.
Unverified amateur film on a social media website is said to show security forces brutally cracking down on anti-government protesters in Raqqa.
A group of opposition activists called the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, or LCC, are reporting the death of an 11-year-old boy there.
More protests may happen today as many consider March 18 to be the anniversary of the beginning of the uprising one year ago.
