BEIRUT (Reuters) -- At least 24 people were killed, most of them government forces, in three coordinated car bombs in Syria's Idlib province, a violence monitor said on Wednesday, a day after explosions killed more than 87 people in Aleppo University.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group with a network of sources in Syria, said one of the car bombs targeted government vehicles near a building used by one of President Bashar Assad's domestic security agencies.
