On 11 September, 1965, Bashar al-Assad was born. His father Hafez al-Assad became the Presidnet of Syria in 1970 and launched the reforms known as The Corrective Period, designed to alleviate the political turbulence of the 1960s.
Upon the death of Hafez in 2000, Bashar won his first Presidential election. He has continued to court the support of Syrians ever since.
Today, terrorists fired missiles at the city of Al-Qurdaha in northeastern Latakia, the birth place of al-Assad and home to many in his extended family.
Extremist Wahhabists clearly intended to ruin a festive occasion for the residents of Al-Qurdaha and Syria more widely although no individuals were struck by the projectiles.
No group has yet come forward to claim responsibility for the attempted atrocity.

For once a symbolic attack that I would NOT blame on the Americans ! Only because it is highly unlikely that the Central “Intelligence” Agency are even aware of Bashar al-Assad’s birthday, or birth place.
“highly unlikely that the Central “Intelligence” Agency are even aware of Bashar al-Assad’s birthday and birthplace.”
What about the Mossad?? IMO Assad’s life is now more threatened than ever.
The have called for his assassination frequently

Yup…. actually even our every move when connected– whether desktop or phone, is followed…. especially by our ‘friends’ from the big G…
Mossad = ISIS you can be damn sure they are behind it.
Ja– they pull the strings, but mostly others and even other nations, take the fall for the unspeakable acts they foist on, in the main an unsuspecting humanity, oblivious of the all powerful and deadly menace orchestrating it all.
The attack originated from northern Latakia which is occupied by Turkish cutthroats and it’s not the first time either. Russia bombed their camp after the previous attack so Erdogan know what awaits his jihadist vermin.
I don’t get the (new?) voting system on theduran. So is everybody really positive about this attack, or does it just show people care deeply about the subject of the article??
I agree with you totally.
For this one I must say I did not click – as pissed off with lowlifes to do thsi
No idea what the purpose of the ‘upvote’ would translate – unless simply to ‘like’ the fact that the article was analysed / written..
‘Chronia polla’ to the wise and great leader of Syria….Bashar al-Assad! Many years of good health to him and all of Syria.
Many years of life and good health to Assad! A good ruler.
