CNN also speculating small-scale failed attack with a car-bomb. Syrian security forces apparently returned fire on perps.
CNN International seems to be the best television source at the moment.
cnn has no clue. i have never been to damascus, seen the US embassy, etc., but i do not believe for a second that the building is vulnerable to a car bomb. most US embassies these days are forts, designed or modified with just such a threat in mind.
anyone actually familiar with US embassy in damascus?
