Syria is going through a civil war, the last to be effected by the Arab Spring...President Assad will NOT give up and has tried to play safe with the western peace process, whilst employing his own militia to be fighting against the Rebels
The war has never hit the capitol until today.
Damascus received bombs from the rebels that killed several important people in the Assad regime...including members of his family.
The President is likely to be somewhat pissed...beware of the retaliation...
