DAMASCUS, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- Nine school students were wounded on Thursday when a landmine exploded near their school in the southwestern countryside of the capital Damascus in southern Syria, state news agency SANA reported.

The landmine, which is a leftover from the rebels' explosive devices, went off while the students were leaving their school in the Beit Jin area, said the report.

The wounded students were rushed to a local hospital.

SANA said the bomb experts in the Syrian army are exerting tremendous efforts to dismantle explosive devices left by the rebels in formerly rebel-held areas in the country. Enditem
