Patients in a Damascus hospital receive treatment after being wounded in Thursday's deadly double blast.

Two large explosions in the Syrian capital killed at least 40 people and wounded more than 170.

This amateur footage - which cannot be independently verified - captures the moments after one of the blasts.

The explosions damaged an intelligence complex involved in President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on a 14 month old uprising.

The blasts are the deadliest to hit the capital since the revolt began
