France's President Emmanuel Macron escaped what may have been an attempted assassination Tuesday during a visit to Syria's capital. The French presidential palace, the Elysee, said in a statement that Macron was safe and would continue his visit to Damascus after two bombs exploded outside the hotel where he spent the night.
Macron had left the hotel when the explosions took place Tuesday, and he was in the Syrian presidential palace for a meeting with his counterpart Ahmed al-Sharaa and their respective delegations, according to the French presidency.
State media cited an unnamed security official as saying the blasts were caused by explosive devices, and a source told French news agency AFP that one bomb had been placed in a dumpster and another in a vehicle near the Four Seasons Hotel.

Welcome to the party, Macron. They want you dead as much as they want us dead and for the same reason: we’re not Muslims. Jewish, Christian, Hindu, even atheists. They hate us and want us dead because we either passively or actively reject their worldview and everything that comes with it.

Rumor is the France has surrendered.
DAMN! Missed him! Can’t rely on Syrian government bomb experts...
The best and brightest of that nation either emigrated or died in Flanders fields a century ago.

Probably Iran.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Is Brigitte okay !?!
He’s fine
“Probably Iran.”
Maybe so. Is Macron contemplating sending naval vessels to Hormuz?
French state agency AFP. Interesting they left that one word out, eh?
A literal dumpster fire.
Dang! Just can’t seem to find any competent bombers these days....
I don’t see how they linked Macron with this at all.
Well I hope the blast didn’t make him more tone deaf than he already was.
“the blasts were caused by explosive devices.” You don’t say.
An explosion in a dumpster outside a hotel that Macron has already left, seems a little false flag to me.
Syria - what a sick dysfunctional country.
Is Turkey Dictator-President Erdogan still trying occupy big chunks of northern Turkey?
