Beirut: A spate of bombings in two Syrian regime stronghold cities killed at least 72 people and wounded 120 on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Thirty-four people were killed in three bombings -- at least two of them suicide attacks -- in the Mediterranean coastal city of Tartus, the monitoring group said.

Another 38 died in four bombings, three of them suicide blasts, in Jableh further north, the Observatory said.
