Damascus civilian flights threatened
Anyone catch this gem from Bloomberg (published in the Gulf News) the other day?

BloombergPublished: 14:15 September 1, 2012

Beirut: The rebel Free Syrian Army warned that it is going to target civilian flights using the airports in Damascus and Aleppo starting September 3 because it suspects flights are used by the government to get weapons from Russia, Iraq, Iran and Lebanon.

Lovely. Glad my company stopped flying there a while ago.

Atleast they are giving us a heads-up...
