Explosion hits packed vehicle in southern Syria, killing at least 21 people
• BEIRUT (AP) -- An explosion struck a vehicle packed with passengers traveling in southern Syria overnight, killing at least 21 people, including four children, activists said Wednesday.
• The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the blast hit the vehicle around midnight as it was driving near Tel al-Juma in Daraa province. Six women were also among the dead, it added.
• It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion, nor why a group of women and children were traveling in dangerous and disputed territory in the middle of the night.

• Daraa was the birthplace of the Syrian uprising against President Bashar Assad in March 2011.
