RUSSIAN EMBASSY IN DAMASCUS ATTACKED:
BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:25 P.M.) – At approximately 2 P.M. (Damascus Time), the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham fired a barrage of mortar shells and rockets towards the Al-Mazra’a District of Damascus City.
According to Al-Masdar’s Damascus correspondent, Ibrahim Joudeh, the jihadist rebels attempted to strike the Russian embassy inside the Syrian capital; however, they barely missed their intended target this afternoon
Daily Mail says it was a briefcase bomb
Thank you M., Oz-Rita, Tundra T. and others. We are updating frequently.
Let me guess: Another “nothing-to-do-with-islam” attack ? And, does Obama have an alibi?
Good question.

Magyar tv,
St. Petersburg many blasts. 50 hurt 2 dead so far in metro near Tech U and market. Think it’s probably terrorism.
The Sunni terrorists are attacking the nation that is doing the most to stop a Sunni Caliphate.
is it only WWIII if the US says so?
No, but you will have a hard time finding anyone in power willing to state that this is a major war, they have too much political capital invested in the idea that this is no danger to the west.
“… they have too much political capital invested in the idea that this is no danger to the west.”
Perhaps any promoting of such nonsense might change rather dramatically when it becomes even more dangerous to constantly underplay the actual threat that Westerners face from Islam.
Time will tell. Mayhaps there will be needed ways of speeding up this process…

Magyar TV:
-3 bombs were set, two detonated. Police looking at metro staff because it took a lot of time and effort to preinstall bombs and it would not have been easy to get away with it unless there was inside help. Security has ringed off all escape routes.
