A mortar attack by an as-yet-unidentified group of rebels have shelled Damascus University today, killing 15 people and wounding a number of others at the university cafeteria.
The university was likely not the intended target for the attack. Rather, it is located in central Damascus, not far from the Defense Ministry and President Bashar Assad’s official residence, either of which would be something rebels would be eager to hit.
The White House issued a statement expressing “deep concern” for the attack, but insisting they weren’t clear if rebels were responsible. They urged both sides to “abide by international law,” which would ban attacking a university full of civilians.
Yesterday, officials from unnamed Arab League nations reported that the growing amount of weaponry being given to Syrian rebels is a prelude to a rebel offensive against the capital. Today’s incident underscores how dangerous such clashes in areas still packed with civilians can be, something that has been seen in other cities as well, where locals either didn’t, or couldn’t, flee an oncoming attack and ended up trapped in the middle of it.
These barbarians never had any respect for Syrian people.., or human life's.., so as there bosses in Saudi Arabia.., attacking university and killing students shows the intention of these barbarians, it shows that such act gives these psychopaths som satisfaction. As long as there are these falsified democracy existed both in Europe and USA.., people of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon will fight these regimes with what they got.., Syria is the grave yard of terrorism and Syrian people will prevail one way or the other.
Terrorists attack Syrian civilians with Western weapons. White House deeply INVOLVED.

Yes Ditz…it was the "target"… In fact: this is the SECOND University the so-called "rebels" specifically targeted–as they attacked Aleppo University in the past…
If you notice, virtually all of the "shelling" in Damascus by the so-called "rebels" have targeted civilians/civilian targets. Just this week they hit the Opera House, the Hotel UN staffers were staying, the old Damascus Fair, and the SANA (state media [i.e. "Press" ]) building with "shells". Last week they targeted a famous Mosque and killed an internationally known SUNNI scholar Iman (their specific target) with a suicide bomb . They've targeted and hit the soccer stadium in Damascus several times, on multiple occasions, while games were in progress, with "shells"…
This is what "terrorism" is…it is a "tactic"…these so-called "rebels" are "terrorists"…
Ditz…try "news" sometime… This is ridiculous…
You are completely right with …it was the "target"..
I am totally convinced that the US Army in close co-operation with the NATO-countries media does conduct this war like a theater dramaturgist is producing his theater pieces.
The killers and criminals they hired are by far to dumb for such well targeted killings, key destructions of infrastructure, within the leadership, and providing the feeling that ANYBODY could be hit.
It is also teh "handwriting" of the bombing OF TARGETED CIVILIAN (!) infrastructure in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya. 78 percent of Libyans get water from Gaddafi's "man made river" – of course, this has been a strategic target to affect many people seriously and create a clear sign of chaos and an higher power. They bombed the pipeline and they bombed the factory which does manufacture the pipe in order to disable repair.
When the worlds biggest water supply coorporations, the French e.g. VEOLIA, SUEZ etc. -see their website regarding mediteranian strategy) will overtake it, it must be damaged, in order be bought for a few dollars.
Such wars are always professionally managed and conducted and media manipulation belongs to it seamlessly, as permanent mean of covering the reality and re-interpreting any single event – like this one.
You should read articles of Jason Ditz with this background and possibly read the original US Army manuals regarding at least a similar type of warfare. See here some parts of it and the source:
"
The intent of U.S. Unconventional Warfare efforts is to exploit a hostile power’s political, military, economic, and psychological vulnerabilities by developing and sustaining resistance forces to accomplish U.S.strategic objectives."
or also from introduction an old statement of J.F.Kennedy :
"There is another type of warfare —new in its intensity, ancient in its origin— war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins; war by ambush instead of by combat, by infiltration instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him. It preys on unrest."

The civil war in Syria provides an opportunity for the United States and its Sunni allies to do just that. For the United States, supporting Syria's rebels would constitute a classic unconventional warfare campaign, a basic Special Forces mission. Such missions are typically covert and usually performed in cooperation with regional allies.
Exactly what was done to us in Iraq by the same Sunni insurgency/rebels.
Again Ditz is promoting lies and war propaganda of the white house war lords.
He is doing this …. in a portal …. calll ANTIWAR !
He repeats teh war lords claim "White House 'Deeply Concerned'"
does he despite frequent postings of clear evidence that USA has planned this war and did create these islamic extremists, recruit, pay, arm and is conducting them by their US satellite phones and command&control laptops. – with the help of Saudis/Qataris/Turkish muslims.

What makes you think the university was not the intended target? The Free Syrian sic Army is made up of groups of secular and Islamic terrorist held together by the terrorist organization the CIA. This is just the type of crime the CIA and it's puppets have committed around the world for the past 60 years.
