Blasts heard at foreign embassies in Syria
DAMASCUS, Syria - Gunmen apparently blew up a car outside the U.S. Embassy and exchanged fire with Syrian guards in a bold attack inside Damascus' diplomatic neighborhood Tuesday, a witness said.
It was not immediately clear if there were casualties. A U.S. Marine guard who answered the phone at the Embassy would not provide any information. In Washington, the State Department said it had no immediate information and was looking into news reports of the attack.


So apprantly they hit the embassy (why am I not surpriseed)
One death is confirmed (a syrian gaurd). No word yet on any other causlties.
I know little more than what I am getting off CNN right this second (yes, CNN.) Som how I am not surprised by this. Its's not the first time Damascus has been attacked this year. These are more of a "scare tactic" attack. Very small and really only meant to jump start our hearts minds and guts. I'll update more when I hear more.


Update: There were four men who had attempted to invade the embassy when the gun fire began
