Two suicide blasts ripped through the Syrian capital Thursday,
killing 55 people and leaving scenes of carnage in the streets in the deadliest
bombing attack since the country’s uprising began 14 months ago, the Interior
Ministry said.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene said paramedics
wearing rubber gloves were collecting human remains from the pavement after the
explosions. Heavily damaged cars and pickup trucks stood smoldering in the
area. The blasts ripped the facade off a military intelligence building, which
appeared to be the target of the attack.
More than 370 people also were wounded in the attack, the
Interior Ministry said in a statement. The ministry, which is in charge of the
country’s internal security, said the explosives weighed more than 1,000
kilograms (2,200 pounds).
At the same time as a NATO (&G8) summit are taking place in Chicago a 17 nation war game is scheduled for the North of Jordan.
The dates of the meetings and war games are often shifting, but at the time of recording they are set for the 15th of May.
Mr. Syria provides an excellent analysis of the current situation in Syria; his conclusions may startle you. It seems that Israel ain't the only country offering the Samson Option, although Syria is keeping it more localized....
