A second car
bomb was detonated on Tuesday on the streets of Damascus. The bomb wounded many
but killed thirteen. As of yet, a group has not taken responsibility for either
bomb. The Interior Ministry states that it is a “terrorist” organization. The
article states that the bombings do not mean that the regime is about to
collapse; instead, it sends a message that rebel groups have entered the
capital. It is also stated that the bombings are psychological tactics to gain
rebel supporters. In order to ward off rebel groups, the government has been
shelling the area around Damascus; ultimately, the governments attempt at
keeping rebel groups out of the capital.
