Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) - Senior Syrian government official have accused the US of being behind Tuesday's assault on its own embassy in downtown Damascus.

A Baath party official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told WorldNetDaily, "We in the government are 100 percent sure America was behind this attack, which is not the same as other attacks by Islamic groups."

He explained, "Only the Americans can succeed in carrying out an attack just 200 meters from President [Bashar] Assad's residence in the most heavily guarded section of Syria."

The official charged that Washington had orchestrated the attack to "prove Syria is filled with terrorists and to put us in a weak position" in order to extract political concessions. Following the attack, Bush administration officials said they hoped the incident had convinced Damascus of the dangers of Islamic terror and the need to cooperate with the West against the phenomenon.

The US and several of its European allies have repeatedly demanded over the years that Damascus close down the local offices and training camps of several organizations hostile to Israel and the West.

The identities of those who attacked the US embassy Tuesday have not been revealed. Three of the gunmen were killed by Syrian guards during the assault. A fourth was reportedly captured.

Answer 1

There are people who believe that Syria(the Syrian government) was behind the attack...Any I don't know what to think,but I hope US government doesn't go that low to stage attacks on its embassy on Syria...knowing that the best way to go after Iran is starting with Syria...
I hope that was just an incident that won't have any repercussions...

Answer 2

No i do no longer think of so. I heavily doubt something like that. For here and different reasons: a million. Bashir Al'Assad and his father earlier him have frequently been or tied to be diffused and circumspect in any political strikes that could have ramifications outdoors of their very own inner politics (do no longer stick to the rethoric, in Syria it frequently is merely that- they are the thinking guy's Saddam Hussein). 2. The district the place the attack occured is the havenof the elites in Damascus. Bashir Al Assad's place of work is down the line and the properties of many of their precise protection and different officers are located there. 3. The chinese language Embassy is around the corner. considerable company of weapons to those adult adult males and that they does no longer choose to dissatisfied them. They know that many circumstances it rather is been the potential of chinese language vetos that have stored them from international and UN sanctions. 4. It replaced into so inept an attempt that i do no longer think of the adult adult males who killed Harirri could even choose to be linked with it.
