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.
Yep.
But Syria has nothing to do with terrorism and the only way to fight make believe terrorism is with hugs, kisses and dialog!!!/s
