Top officials killed in blast, Syria says
Syria's defense minister and deputy defense minister were killed Wednesday in a blast at a national security building in Damascus, state media reported.
The attack brings the bloodshed in Syria well into President Bashar al-Assad's inner circle and could mark a pivotal point in the 16-month uprising.
Defense Minister Dawood Rajiha and Deputy Minister Assef Shawkat - who is al-Assad's brother-in-law - were killed in the explosion during a meeting of ministers and security officials, state TV reported.
They are the highest-ranking Syrian officials killed in the uprising.

I wonder just how much of a hand the C.I.A. or the notorious British MI-6 had in this act of murder. Somehow I don't think that these so-called "rebels" in Syria did it totally on their own. Now the right-wing thugs in both London and Washington are going to have another big field day over this!!!
I hope these were not some of Obama's campaign contributors.
I think this has the halmarks of a Mossad operation. If this was American, you would be reading about the details of how and why it took place in the monring papers.
USA and Britain are doing this because they are bankrupt and USA and Britain are loser nation that can't even send a man into space they can even send a submarine 7000m down the pacific ocean that china did last month 4 times.
saeed... you're an uneducated bafoun. Apollo 11 reached the moon over 50 years ago. Numerous Americans have been into space since then. As for the Submarine , James Cameron went to nearly 12000m deep. You need to hop off the page and try reading a book.
china sent a submarine 5 times to a depth over 7000m and brought up 11 biological samples what did australia bring up not a singel thing. the apollo program was a loser program the chinese robotic drone made the higest reselution map of the moons surface ever what did the apolle program achive not a singel thing and that program went bankcrupt just like the loser space shuttle.
