Several militants launched the attack against the U.S. embassy at about 10:05 a.m. (0705 GMT), using machine guns and rockets from atop a nearby building, they said. Casualties were caused by the attack, they added.

Militants attack with guns, rockets, possibly truck bombs, at 10 am, and by 10:38 not only have Syrian troops put the attack down, but the Syrian government has also issued a statement, to boot?
Sounds fishy to me.
