Child Dead, Many Hurt as Mortars Hit Damascus School Compound
2013-03-27
[An Nahar] At least one child was killed and several others were maimed on Tuesday in a mortar attack on a compound housing several schools in central Damascus
...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world...
, a monitoring group and state news agency SANA said.

"A young girl was killed and several other students were maimed when mortars fired by faceless myrmidons hit a school compound in the Baramkeh district of Damascus," SANA said, without giving the victim's age.

"Shells also landed on two (other) schools... injuring four civilians, including a teacher, and damaging the buildings," SANA added.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog confirmed the report, adding that an unknown number of people were maimed.

Earlier, state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
reported a mortar attack on the same district, near the headquarters of state news agency SANA, describing it as "a new attack on Syrian media by terrorists".

#2  that military base in Kansas could be either Fort Leavenworth, or the home of the Big Red One, Fort Riley. There are other assorted air force bases such as Forbes field in Wichita. A good soft target would be Fort Dodge which houses WW2, Korean and Vietnam vets, and has a VA clinic.
