Syrian Army Takes Damascus Suburb Near International Airport

[laserguided]

[QUOTE]Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad captured a suburb of Damascus near the international airport, the official Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
Syrian troops killed rebels and destroyed their positions in Ahmadiyeh in the Eastern Ghouta area, the official news service said today, citing an unidentified government official. Government forces clashed with rebels in neighborhoods in Aleppo as they tried to retake the city, the Coventry, U.K.-based opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on its Facebook page today.

Regime forces supported by fighters from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah have extended battlefield gains against rebels trying to topple Assad in the more than year-long conflict. Regime forces have moved north after defeating rebels in al-Qusair, a setback that triggered concern in Washington that Iran and Hezbollah are tipping the balance in favor of Assad.
U.S. President Barack Obama decided to send light weapons to the Syrian opposition as the Assad regime made military gains. The London-based Times reported today that the U.S. has located 300 Marines in northern Jordan near the border with Syria along with a Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.
