Interestingly, repelled by Syrian guards outside of the embassy. Also, apparently Islamic terrorists can't throw a hand grenade over an 8-foot wall.

DAMASCUS, Syria - Islamic militants tried to storm the U.S. Embassy in Damascus on Tuesday using automatic rifles, hand grenades and at least one van rigged with explosives, the government said. Four people were killed in the brazen attack, including three of the assailants, but no Americans were hurt.

I thought this was crazy....even more so since the syrians fought them off. I think this was a major blemish averted, fortunately
