Two of our rebel “allies” also strapped bombs to their chests and strolled into a police station to claim their 72 virgins, 14 people were killed.

BEIRUT (Reuters) – Bombers attacked a Damascus police station on Tuesday, killing at least 14 people in the heart of the capital as President Bashar al-Assad’s army fought rebels in their strongholds in the east and north of Syria.

Syrian state media said two suicide bombers struck near a police building in Marjeh Square, on the edge of the old city of Damascus. Syrian television had initially said the bombs were placed in bags outside shops in the square. […]

Security sources said four people were wounded on Tuesday when seven rockets were fired towards the Lebanese town of Hermel, a Hezbollah stronghold in a mainly Shi’ite area of the Bekaa Valley.

The rockets appeared to have been fired from a rebel-held area across the border in Syria, they said. Syrian rebels have warned they will take the battle into Lebanon unless authorities there curb Hezbollah’s involvement in the civil war.
