I've Been Thinking:

A devastating car bomb blasted downtown Damascus, Syria yesterday.
The bomb killed 17 people.

This was not the first of such incidents to shatter Syria, a country that is normally quiet, a country that has been traditionally held under the thumbnail of a thuggish tyrant.

Many theories abound as to the culprit.
Obviously, the Arab press will point their fingers at Israel.
But when you look at the probable target of this car bomb, Israel does not seem like a likely perpetrator.
The target was probably the offices of Syrian intelligence.

This was probably an Arab on Arab attack.
The perpetrator may have been Hezbollah getting back at the assassination of one of their leaders 2 weeks ago.
Or it may have been one of the Lebanese Palestinian groups upset at Syria.
It may even have been Iranian agents wanting to stimulate instability to insure that Syria and Iran remain close.

Israel is way down the list of probable groups to take aim at this target in Damascus.
