The Syrian government has increasingly been using helicopters and other aircraft in its fight against the rebels. Rebels have claimed to have shot down helicopters and warplanes in the past, although the regime has blamed most of the problems on mechanical difficulties. In Thursday’s incident, the helicopters rotor clipped the tail of a Syrian Arab Airlines jet, the state TV said. The passenger plane “landed safely at the airport and none of the 200 passengers were harmed,” the report said. The helicopter crashed southeast of Douma, a Damascus suburb that has witnessed repeated military crackdowns to purge fighters seeking to topple Assad. No further details were made available. “We heard the sound of several explosions and some gunfire, and a few minutes later, we were told that a helicopter had crashed,” said Mohammad Saeed, an activist in Douma.

Abdul-Rahman quoted one witness as saying the blast was caused by an airstrike but said the Observatory could not independently confirm that

Updated at 1:11 p.m. ET (AP) BEIRUT – Regime airstrikes hit a gas station in northern Syria Thursday, setting off a fiery explosion that killed at least 30 people and wounded dozens, opposition activists said. Amateur video showed thick black smoke engulfing the scene. Earlier Thursday, a Syrian military helicopter crashed near the capital of Damascus, and Syria’s Information Ministry said the helicopter went down after accidentally clipping the tail of a Syrian passenger plane with 200 people on board. The larger aircraft landed safely at Damascus International Airport and no one was hurt, the Information Ministry said. The airstrikes and the close call in the sky underscored the growing turmoil and violence in Syria. The country is embroiled in a civil war between forces fighting for President Bashar Assad and those trying to topple him. More than 23,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to activists. In recent weeks, Assad’s regime has stepped up airstrikes in northern Syria in an attempt to dislodge rebels from areas they control there. Activists said Thursday’s airstrike hit near the town of Ain Issa, about 25 miles from the Turkish border. A day earlier, rebel fighters had seized control of a border crossing north of the town. Rami Abdul-Rahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said witnesses counted at least 30 bodies and said dozens of people were...

(CBS/AP) KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban claimed responsibility on Saturday for an attack against a sprawling British base in southern Afghanistan that killed two U.S. Marines and wounded several other troops, saying it was to avenge an anti-Islamic film that insulted the Prophet Muhammad, and because Britain’s Prince Harry is serving there. Taliban spokesman Kari Yousef Ahmed told CBS News the primary motive for the attack was the film, but the base was picked as the place to attack because of Prince Harry’s presence there. The U.S.-led NATO coalition said in a statement that the overnight attack focused on Camp Bastion, a huge British base adjacent to Camp Leatherneck, which houses U.S. Marine operations in southern Helmand province. “We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger,” Taliban spokesman Qari Youssef Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone. He added, “Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet.” Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is based at Camp Bastion. A spokesperson for Britain’s Ministry of Defense told the AP he was unharmed in the attack which, according to Britain’s Press Association, took place a mile from the section of the complex where the prince was located. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with government policy. Capt....

Similar teams were sent to Libya on Wednesday after the attack that killed the U.S

(AP) WASHINGTON – Objections by Sudan’s government have held up the security mission of an elite Marine team that the U.S. planned to send to Khartoum, a U.S. official said Saturday. As a result, the deployment has been delayed and possibly curtailed, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to disclose details on the troop movement. The Marine unit, 포커 게임 종류 known as a fleet anti-terrorism security team, was ordered to Sudan in the wake of violence and protests against the U.S. Embassy. Similar teams were sent to Libya on Wednesday after the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, and to Yemen on Friday Dozens protest at U.S. Embassy in ParisAl Qaeda calls for more attacks on embassiesFeds question possible anti-Muslim filmmaker Demonstrators in Sudan stormed the German Embassy before moving on in buses to the U.S. Embassy, where police used tear gas to stop them scaling the walls.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Sudan’s government “has recommitted itself both publicly and privately to continue to protect our mission,” as obligated under the Vienna Convention. “We have requested additional security precautions as a result of yesterday’s damage to our embassy. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely...
