( dpa ) - At least one person was killed in a car bombing in the Syrian capital, Damascus, late Tuesday, Arabic media reported.

The bomb went off near an Iranian school ahead of a visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki planned for Wednesday to discuss the political crisis in neighbouring Lebanon.

Terrorist attacks are rare in Syria, but President Bashar al- Assad's government has blamed past violence that was never fully explained on Islamic extremists.
