A pair of powerful car bombs were detonated outside of a key intelligence compound tore the front off the building and caused havoc on the highway nearby, killing at least 70 people, including a large number of civilians, and wounded 372 others.
It was the largest single attack against the Assad regime since protests began in March 2011. No group has yet claimed responsibility, but state media blamed Saudi-backed terrorist factions for the strike. The Free Syrian Army denied any role.
There are a number of different terrorist factions operating within Syria on behalf of the rebels, including al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which has reportedly sent large numbers of fighters across the border at the behest of Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Early UN statements were careful not to blame the rebels for the large number of civilian deaths, saying only that “it is not going to solve any problems.” The US State Department issued a demand that the Syrian government immediately stop all violence in the country.
Ummm Hmmm….
As expected, it looks as though "Freedom" is beginning to blossom… And, on top of everything else, the Obama Administration seems to be blaming the Assad regime for this….
Increase the sanctions, continue to fund the "freedom fighters", impose the "safe zones", send in the drones, call NATO, fire off the strike sorties…blow the entire g-damn place up…
FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny how Al-Quaeda and the US now have the same aims – of destroying apostate Shia regimes.

It was the Syrians who invented this to use on us – to bomb and maim and kill us.
Now, it has boomeranged on to them
Poetic Justice
Saudi Arabia was the nation that attacked us on 9/11. Al Qaeda is mostly Saudi and all of it is Sunni. These are the same Islamic fundamentalists that McCain supported in Libya and now wants to support in Syria. I wish the Iranians would go to war with Saudi Arabia. There are so many Shiites being oppressed in Saudi Arabia that it would not take much to overthrow that corrupt regime. Hezbollah could beat Saudi Arabia itself. End the corrupt monarchy and prosecute the House of Saud.
Joseph. You are either a planted Mosad agent or and idiot who needs lessons in geopolitical history. Iran, Israel, Iraqi Shi'its and Hizbullah are all united to prevent the Syrian regime from collapsing. When you say the Shi'its in Saudi are being oppressed then look at the Sunnis in Iran who got all their mosques raized to the level by Iranians while the shiits in the gulf region got their rights protected. This war is between Sunnis from one side and the Shiits, Israelis, Russia, China and the west from another side. Who do you think will win? Of course the majority Sunnis at the end. The Jews know that very well because it's in their Talmoud. Ask your Rabai to teach you some history.
So the US government admits that actions can provoke terrorist violence. Like many, I was taught that terrorists were only motivated by atavistic or nihilistic hatred of "values" and "freedom, to suggest otherwise was to be part of the blame America First crowd.
American are fools. They are lead like sheep by their government and media to the slaughter house. From Pearl Harbor to 911 and now Iran. They lead to believe the majority Sunni Muslims were a terrorist who's aim is to destroy the the western democracy. Now they are using the same tactics encouraging the Shiits to slaughter the Sunnis. I see all bloggers here against the majority oppressed Sunnis while standing by the Shiits. The Syrian regime is united with Israel & the US since 1973 war which ended up the Asad made a devil pact with Nixon to stay in power while getting some cash from US to keep the Golan Heights for Israel. I hope you Americans learn the hard way at FEMA camps then it will be too late for you to wake up. We Sunnis will take care of ourselves and will win at the end.
one day ago Saudi "government" asked its citizen to leave Syria and then this bombing takes place, I think it was a signal for these terrorists to do what they are in Syria for, disrputing the peace and serving the Neo Fascism in EU and US.
How would the US taken it if on 9-12-01 some foreign government had issued a demand that the US government "stop all violence" in the country?
Fascinating that the Israeli professional comment posters seem to have concentrated on this article. That alone is very informative.
