Damascus Car Bomb and Syrian Opposition Meeting


A car bomb exploded near the Dama Rose hotel in Damascus, Syria earlier today.

The explosion shook the building and shattered many windows, wounding 12 people.

This explosion comes six days after the bombing of the Damascus suburbs that caused the deaths of 10 people. 



While Damascus was dealing with the car bomb, a meeting of the Syrian opposition was being held in Doha, Qatar. 

The meeting in Doha was held in hopes of ending the rule of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Under Assad’s rule, tens of thousands of people have been killed.

The United States government is pushing for a new and reformed leadership to be put into place should Assad be removed.
