Am looking at photos of the palace and buildings and the building in video about matches the palace but its a little dark to make any more features out! can anyone else tell where this video was taken?
do u know the official twitter of the opposition
And by opposition you mean who? FSA? They donīt have one. SNC? Even if they had some, it would be useless. LCC has its own websites and there are dozens of more groups.
The syrian observatory pf human rights is one of the most serious informations sources for the syrian conflict always true not so much rumors and if they are rumors they are labelled as informations not verified.
Not SOHR. If you want to know, this guy

However, never, ever, ever take what you read on blog/twitter/FB for granted. Social media love to report everything that gets into rumourmill and therefore are many times innacure. Their POV is crystal clear as well.
You have also the blog yallasouria http://yallasouriya.wordpress.com/ who is a synthesis of all the tweets of the activits you have mentioned with also sherblakis .But the 47th remains one of the most funny activist spamming the sana twitter account lol
A suicide bomber has targeted a national security building in the Syrian capital Damascus, Syrian TV says.

Al Dounnia, Syrian state TV, just stated that Syrian defence minister general Daoud Rajha was killed in that attack. Hezbollah al-Manar TV meanwhile reported that interior minister was injured.
Suicide bomber was defence minister personal bodyguard according to SANA.

Syrian state television reported a suicide bombing at a “national security” force building in the capital Damascus on Wednesday. It gave no details of casualties.
“A suicide attack has targeted the National Security building,” the channel said of the security apparatus headed by Hisham Ikhtiar. The building is a heavily guarded headquarters in the city’s central Rawda district.
“The terrorist explosion which targeted the national security building in Damascus occurred during a meeting of ministers and a number of heads of (security) agencies,” the television said.
The television said that the bombing had wounded people attending the ministers’ meeting, some of them are in critical conditions.
Activists, meanwhile, said republican guard troops seal off Shami hospital in Damascus after ambulances brought casualties from explosion site.
Fighting erupts near presidential palace
In a related story, the revolt against Assad’s regime came within sight of his presidential palace on Wednesday as fighting erupted in major Damascus neighborhoods for a fourth day.
An army barracks near the “palace of the people,” a huge Soviet style complex overlooking the sprawling capital from the western district of Dummar, came under rebel fire around 7.30 a.m. (0430 GMT), activists and a resident said.
So the Presidential Palace came under attack, their Defense Minister is dead and probably lots of other high ranking party officials. Damn, that was quick.
I heard on the BBC its a barracks above the palace
Official Syrian TV: the Minister of Defence of Syria was killed.

This is a very serious development. I really hope Assad won't try to do anything stupid on his way down.
Sh1t, meet Fan.
