The Khaleej Times reports:
Three dead as Syria breaks up ‘terror’ group in capital | |
DAMASCUS - Syrian police broke up a “terror” group during a shootout in Damascus this week that left its chief and another member dead, as well as a policeman, state news agency SANA reported on Saturday. | |
“Abu Omar, chief of the Tanzim Jund ash-Sham (Organisation of the Soldiers of the Levant) was killed Thursday night during a clash with security forces in a southern suburb” of the capital, the report said. |
One document said the group’s jihad should take place according to priorities, starting with countries in the region that are under “despotic regimes,” such as Syria, “Christian Maronite” Lebanon - the president in the neighboring country is always Maronite Catholic - and Hashemite Jordan. Then attention should be directed to “the dictators” in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iraq, whose “people have been afflicted with the Crusaders.” |
It seems that Boy Assad has not bought himself any protection by supplying refuge to terrorists and allowing Zarqawi’s fighters to use Syria for their Ho Chi Minh Trail.

I think some Eric Hoffer applies perfectly here: "Those that lick the boot that kicks them will often bite the hand that feeds them."
