AFP reported that a gas pipeline in eastern Syria was damaged in a bombing causing the leakage of 400,000 cubic meters of gas.

As per report, an armed terrorist group on Monday bombed a pipeline owned by Al Furat Petroleum Company that travels from Deir Ezzor to Homs. The blast occurred about 20 kilometers from Deir Ezzor.

It caused leakage of about 400,000 cubic meters of gas. Several attacks have targeted Syria's oil infrastructure since a revolt against the regime of President Mr Bashar al Assad broke out in March 2011.

The authorities accuse foreign backed terrorist groups its term for rebel forces of attacking infrastructure but the opposition says the regime is involved in the attacks.
