Activists say a Syrian intelligence officer has been shot and killed in the capital, Damascus, while a separate bomb blast wounded three people in the city.


The attacks come amid fears that Syria's 13-month conflict is growing increasingly militarized, and diplomatic efforts to solidify a tenuous cease-fire continue.


The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the officer was killed early Tuesday in the Barzeh neighborhood but gave no further information. The Syrian government did not comment.
