Deadly Suicide Car Bombing Targets Daraa
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A suicide bomber blew up a vehicle in the Syrian city of Daraa on Saturday, killing two people and wounding 20, including security force personnel, the official SANA news agency reported.
The "suicide terrorist" struck near the al-Masri roundabout in the center of the city, south of Damascus, which was the cradle of the uprising that erupted against President Bahar Assad's regime in March last year, SANA said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported that two civilians were killed in an explosion in Daraa, but without specifying whether it was a suicide car bomb.
On January 6, a car bomb exploded in Damascus killing 26 people and wounding dozens more, most of them civilians. State media said it was a suicide attack and blamed "terrorists".
The blast came after twin bombs hit security services bases in the capital on December 23, with state media pointing the finger at al-Qaida.
Twin car bombs in the northern city of Aleppo on February 10 killed 28 people and wounded 235 others.

How can a country protest for democracy when the whole civilisation is not able to follow democracy.
Democracy is not only freedom as they think, but also respect laws and rules. How done they want democracy and they have arms and bomb themselves. And what is more unbelievable is that Europe and USA support the people who bomb themselves. Anyways for me if a country need to adopt democracy, let their citzen start learning how to drive between the lines and respecting the driving laws. Otherwhise, be sure that killing their president or leader will only lead the country to Chaos and crimes. The exemples is here: IRak, Lybia and so on...

democracy is the ruling of the majority with respect to minority, turnaround every a limited time so the people can judge every 4 ..6 years depending on the performance

They were not armed for decades. Their regime had 50 years to make them the kind of people you mention (all civilized and cultured). Instead the regime squandered the 50 years by consolidating power, plundering the country and messing up Lebanon. So it is a catch 22, civilized people produce civilized Governments and civilized Governments perpetuate a civilized society and unfortunately both are in short supply in the Middle East. Lebanon was in best shape to be the role model, but Syria's interference and desire to control Lebanon messed us up as well. Like the late Hafez joke telling his people "I can not make Syria like Lebanon, but I sure can make Lebanon like Syria".... and that he did very successfully.

@Flamethrower: Democracies are built, they don't come out of thin air. Democracy in France came through revolution, violence and fighting; Democracy in America also through revolution. How often do kings or dictators lead countries to democracy peacefully? Extremely rarely as if you didn't know. The excuses to preserve Assad get more desperate by the day...
