Syria Hiding Weapons, Moving Troops
(AP-ABC News) Ryan Lucas - Ahead of possible U.S. armed action against Syria, the main Western-backed opposition group says the Syrian army has moved troops as well as rocket launchers, artillery and other heavy weapons into residential neighborhoods in cities nationwide. If the U.S. does bomb, Assad will seek to show the world images of civilians killed by American strikes, said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center. "If he's able to score points from this, he will feel that he's actually won without actually engaging in a military response."
