As of the time of this post, this story has not appeared on any of the main cable news networks e.g. Fox, CNN, MSNBC. Just prepackaged 9/11 remembrance stuff.

Coup attempt? Not unless Assad is hanging out at our place, methinks.

Fox News couldn't find a breaking news story if it hit them in the face. Give them a couple of hours.

Of course, car chases are exempt from your post. They go to car chases immediately.

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Smoke rose from the Rawda area housing the U.S. embassy in central Damascus on Tuesday and the sound of heavy gunfire was heard around the complex, witnesses said.
The witnesses said Syrian security forces had surrounded the embassy building and sealed off the area.
No other details were immediately available.
The area also houses vital security installations and the houses of the most senior officials in the Syrian government.
"It appears that the embassy is coming under attack," one resident in the area told Reuters.

If this is terrorism, I'd guess Syrian forces would likely (albeat begrudgingly) be fighting terrorists, rather than blatantlyh being the terrorists.
Black smoke is most often from petrochemicals, 'twould seem.

(Graphic/Reuters) take it for what it's worth. Given their history, this could be Pittsburgh.

On Feb 4th 2006, the Danish, Norwegian, and Chilean embassies were torched in Damascus.

Agree with that but CNN headline news isn't carrying anything either.
