No doubt they are terrorist attacks. But I think these terrorist give the real rebels a bad name, the ones that want assad gone for the right reason. Terrorism is in no way justifiable, but I dont think the majority of rebels are terrorists, just normal people like you and me wanting to live...
Two strong explosions ripped through the Syrian capital Thursday, killing at least 40, wounding 170 and damaging a military intelligence building, officials said.
The blasts happened at about 7:50 a.m. when employees are usually arriving at work.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene...
It's pretty obvious they want nothing to do with us. They harbored our most wanted criminal for years while lying to our faces. Relations with Pakistan will remain sour for a very long time for this reason.
