| [An Nahar] "An armed terrorist group" bumped off a Syrian general in Damascus ...The City of Jasminis the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... on Saturday, the official SANA news agency reported, saying he was in charge of a military hospital in the capital. "An armed terrorist group this morning assassinated brigadier general and doctor, Issa al-Khawli, the director of Hamish hospital, outside his home in the district of Ruknaddin," in northwest Damascus, SANA said. "Three gunnies had watched General Khawli leave his house and shot him," the news agency said, adding that he was a father of four, including three daughters. State television showed footage of what it said was the general lying in a pool of blood outside his home, his head pixelated. The report could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, it would be one of the most brazen attacks on a ranking officer in the Syrian capital since an uprising erupted in March last year. |

| #5 "#2 Same guy as the story yesterday, right?" Yeah, apparently they killed him yesterday and then shot him again today. Assad called and said "Are you sure he's dead?", and then a shot rang out and the answer came back "Yes, sir, he's dead". |

| #4 Makes you wonder how top heavy the Syrian forces are. Sadaam's force seemed to have more generals than majors. The guy might have been in charge of vending machine replenishment. |
