Debka has reports coming in second hand from Beirut - I guess Israeli press not welcome in Syria proper . . .

I admit it. I checked DEBKA.

Reports from Beirut of heavy bomb blasts and gunfire in Damascus, Syria. Residents say several explosions heard in area of capital where western embassies located. Unconfirmed reports that British embassy affected.

This was probably supposed to coincide with the thwarted mega-attack on Jordan . . .

Did he think he could play around with Iran? Ahem, I mean "Al Qaeda?"

He is asserting control. Syria will deal harshly with terrorists who act within the borders of Syria.
