DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- Iranian Press TV says one of its correspondents has been killed in Syria covering the twin blasts and gun battles in the capital, Damascus.

Press TV identified the correspondent as 33-year-old Maya Nasser, a Syrian national.

State-run media said two massive explosions targeted the army command headquarters in Damascus on Wednesday morning, setting off clashes and a huge fire inside the building.
