| DAMASCUS: A massive bomb attack and a firefight shook Damascus on Wednesday. The rebel Free Syrian Army claimed the bomb attack targeted a military headquarters near a hotel used by UN observers as a warning to President Bashar Assad that it could strike anytime at the very heart of the regime. A gunbattle also erupted between rebels and troops near the offices of new Prime Minister Wael Al-Halqi, who took office after his predecessor defected last week, and a new Iranian embassy building that is still under construction. “There was a huge explosion and a fireball, and soldiers were thrown to the ground by the blast,” a military officer told AFP at the scene, adding that five people suffered burns or shrapnel wounds. No UN staff member was hurt. |
