| Blasts and clashes rattled Syria on Wednesday and claimed the lives of many people at a time some defected military officers said that carrying guns will not solve the Syrian crisis. Earlier Wednesday, twin blasts rattled the Syrian military command headquarters in the heart of the Syrian capital of Damascus, the latest brazen attack in a series of violence targeting security and army bases. The blasts shook the Umayyad Square, where the military command headquarters and the state TV are located, at around 6:45 a.m. local time (0345 GMT), and were followed by intense gunfire that lasted for a couple of hours. Lebanese al-Manar TV said that after the blast, armed insurgents tried to storm the army's headquarters, but the Syrian troops responded and managed to kill a number of them. |
