Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa vowed Monday that those involved in a suicide attack on a Damascus church a day earlier would face justice, calling for unity after the "heinous" attack.

"We promise... that we will work night and day, mobilising all our specialised security agencies, to capture all those who participated in and planned this heinous crime and to bring them to justice," Sharaa said in a statement.

The attack "reminds us of the importance of solidarity and unity of the government and the people in facing all that threatens our nation's security and stability", he added.
