DAMASCUS, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Three workers were killed and 23 others wounded Tuesday when armed men fired mortar shells that slammed a clothing factory in a Damascus suburb, the pro- government Sham FM radio reported.

Most of those injured are in critical conditions, the report said, adding that a huge material loss has been caused to the al- Wasim factory in the eastern suburb of al-Mlaiha.

Mortar attacks have become a daily routine across Syria coupled with clashes between the rebels and government troops on several fronts nationwide.
