Maher Marwan, Governor of Damascus, says those responsible for the explosion in a cafe in the capital will be held to account.

“The coming hours will reveal everything and those who shed the blood of Syrians will pay, but Syria will be well as long as we are one hand, and this will not shake the Syrian state,” the governor told an Al Jazeera reporter in Damascus.

“There are a lot of measures being taken for Syria’s security, there are greater numbers of forces day by day, and there is a marked improvement in the Interior Ministry,” he said.

“It will take some time for the Syrian state to attain stability. The Interior Ministry has done well over the last few months. Despite beginning from ruins, there has been a marked improvement,” Marwan said.

“Day after day they will get those who have affected Syria’s security. The more Syria attains stability, the more there are those who want to damage it.”
