Attack on Damascus Embassy Tests Syrian Regime Grip
In a brazen midmorning assault, three gunmen attacked the U S Embassy compound in Damascus. They burst from a car, shouting God is great, throwing grenades and firing on guards. A second truck with pipe bombs and gas canisters failed to detonate. After a 15 minute gunbattle, the gunmen died and the driver was wounded and captured. At least 10 civilians and a Chinese diplomat were wounded. The rapid Syrian guard response drew rare praise from the U S amid rising tensions with Damascus.
