Witnesses: Gunfire, explosions near U.S. embassy in Damascus
By Haaretz Service and news agencies
Syrian security forces surrounded the U.S. embassy in Damascus early on Tuesday and sealed off the area, witnesses said, adding that heavy gunfire and explosions had been heard in the area.
"It appears that the embassy is coming under attack," one resident in the area told Reuters.
There was no independent confirmation of the initial reports.
Explosions and gunfire at the US embassy according to CNN International.
What time is it over there? Middle of the morning?
Whoa --- thus far, no FNC alerts.
If this is an attack on our embassy, they'll find George Bush's response somewhat different from the one they learned to count on from Clinton.
Breaking news?

Nice of them to send us an invitation.
I was thinking Iran first, though.
Here we go again.. The religion of peace strikes again.
I believe it is empty anyway?
Thanks. /sarc/
This is the real reason we are in Iraq, to ultimately take care of Syria and Iran.
You're the one who posed the question.
