U.S. Ambassador to Syria Describes Attack on Convoy
(New York Times) J. David Goodman - In a post on his Facebook page, the American ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, said that in an attack on his convoy on Thursday, supporters of President Assad threw "concrete blocks at the windows and hit the cars with iron bars." While many news sites reported that the ambassador's car had been set upon by protesters with eggs and tomatoes, he said, "Look at the photos of the U.S. Embassy vehicles - eggs and tomatoes do not do such damage." A video posted online showed a cracked windshield and at least one protester attacking the back of the car with a metal rod.
