Free Syrian Army causing shift of momentum in Damascus


Recommended Posts

BEIRUT — An audacious bombing aimed at the heart of Syria's feared security services killed three high-ranking officials in Damascus and left President Bashar Assad's grip on power appearing more tenuous than at any time during the 16-month uprising against his family dynasty.

 

Government reinforcements were reported to have been deployed in the streets of Damascus on Wednesday, a fourth day of fighting in the capital, which had largely been spared the violence racking much of the country.

 

The attack on national security headquarters was a graphic illustration of the shifting momentum in the conflict. It demonstrated that the decentralized and often ragtag rebel force, which has been battling security forces in the provinces for months, had succeeded in taking the fight to Assad's doorstep, as it had long vowed to do.

Such a crazy situation that is happening over there. There are multipable stories I've heard this side wants this, another side wants this an so on. It seems to be that someone has stried(sp?) up this conflict so that someone could gain something in the end.
