Damasucs Twin Blasts: A desprate attempt to cover-up failure in Aleppo

Syrian Army forces speak to civilians in the al-Arqoub district of Aleppo city after purging the area of foreign-backed insurgents on September 25, 2012.

Yesterday after the Syrian Army cleaned al-Arqoub area in Aleppo of Islamist's terrorists, and Damascus countryside, I posted a vedio for Iblis Adnan Al-Aroor which was nothing more than a desoerate call to his thugs in Syria to  "Kill 1, 2 3 ...or 4 ...burn Damascus ...burn the villages ...!", begging the Syrian army to defect saying: TURN BACKWARDS.

Today  a twin blasts hit Damasucs near the headquarters of the army general staff in Umayyad Square. The attacks are nothing but a desprate attempt to cover-up the daily defeats in Aleppo, its also a bloody message to national Syrian opposition meeting in Damascus. 

Minister Al-Zoubi pointed out that the terrorist act took place in an important site but the terrorists as usual failed to achieve their goals, asserting that the aggressive project targeting Syria is integral and has its tools, means and persons therefore we should expect such kind of barbarian acts as we are facing a war...   "The aggression will be defeated.. we are ready to face it in its foreign sense and internal tools … we will remain to be committed to our political stances, and dialogue should be accomplished as a Syrian-Syrian one," He underscored.   He said "No dialogue with Syria's enemies abroad nor with those who conspire against Syria with foreign sides as well as no international conferences with those who share in the conspiracy against Syria."   He called on all those who want the interest of the homeland "to come to the dialogue table as the agenda of discussion is open and the space is a Syrian one."   On the other hand, the Information Ministry dismissed "as groundless" the news reported by some instigative websites and satellite channels on the injury of the Defense Minister or any of the Military Commanders, asserting that these news reflect their bankruptcy.   The Ministry also stressed that no governmental institution or the Cabinet have been exposed to any terrorist acts, asserting that the news reported by some aggressive websites and media channels came in the framework of the miserable psychological war waged against the Syrian people.   Bomb attacks hit central Damascus, gunfire follows   The site of a bomb attack in central Damascus (file photo) Wed Sep 26, 2012 7:1AM GMT 3 2 LAST UPDATE Two bombs have exploded near the chief of staff headquarters in the center of the Syrian capital, Damascus, causing only material damage and no casualties, the Syrian state TV reports.
