Damascus Blast Reportedly Caused by 7-Year-Old Girl Carrying Explosive Belt
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A blast that rocked a police station in southeast Damascus on Friday was caused by a seven-year-old girl carrying a belt of explosives, Syrian media reported.
The explosion in the bustling Midan neighborhood of the Syrian capital wounded three police officers, said the al-Watan daily, which is close to the government.
"A seven-year-old girl entered the police station, carrying a belt that was detonated from afar," the paper posted on its Facebook page.
A police source told al-Watan that she had appeared lost and asked to use the bathroom when the explosives went off.
Although rebel groups have fired rockets and mortar rounds into the capital, explosions inside the city itself are rare.
Syrian state news agency SANA said earlier there were preliminary reports about a "terrorist explosion at the Midan police station in Damascus."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed there had been a blast in Midan but said it could not specify the cause.
Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP that "one woman" was killed in the blast, but it remained unclear whether she was a suicide bomber or a bystander.
In early 2012, a suicide bomber killed 26 people when he blew himself up in Midan.
More than 310,000 people have died since Syria's conflict broke out in 2011.

الحرس الثوري: بعد حلب سنتدخل في البحرين واليمن
قال نائب قائد الحرس الثوري الإيراني اللواء حسين سلامي في تصريحات لوكالة الأنباء الإيرانية الرسمية "إرنا"، إن "الانتصار في حلب مقدمة لتحرير البحرين" مشيرا إلى أن مشروع إيران التوسعي سيمتد إلى البحرين واليمن والموصل بعد سقوط مدينة حلب السورية.
وقال سلامي إن "شعب البحرين سيحقق أمنيته، وسيسعد الشعب اليمني، وسيتذوق سكان الموصل طعم الانتصار، وهذه كلها وعود إلهية"، بحسب تعبيره.

I have a guess for all this anti-Syrian agitation here and in "the West" as far as Lebanon goes. You remember Reagan sending the Marines to Beirut to defend it from Syria, then loosing the USS Missouri's big guns on Syrian forces when the Marines got blown up?
The Syrians were and are giving the Lebanese Shia majority a chance to stand up. Is that it? They were not part of the gentlemen's agreement, the National Pact, the Taef Accord, Article 24 of the Constitution, whereby the Sunni minority covenant with the Christian minority (with its NATO contacts) to keep the Shia majority in bondage?

Look what the salafi cowards do. They can't fight as men. They have to force 7 year old girls to bomb targets.

funny how people jump to hastily conclusions :
1/ the pro gvt newspaper said it was a 7 year old
2/ AFP talks about a woman...
so brainwashed people wait to have more crossed referenced news. but of course hezbis will stay on a 7 yr old girl only because SANA said so.
as for me i ll wait for further more objective news....
