At least 10 people are now dead following an explosion in the centre of the Syrian capital Damascus.



State media say about 20 people were also wounded.



Reports said a terrorist suicide bomber is responsible for the blast near a mosque in the Midan area.



However, opposition activists are blaming the Syrian government.



The incident came after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned that the government was in contravention of a UN and Arab League-backed peace plan.



Ban demanded that Damascus comply with the peace plan brokered by envoy Kofi Annan without delay.
