Deadly bomb hits busy street in Damascus


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.
