| BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Explosions and gunfire erupted on Tuesday near an area where foreign embassies including the U.S. Embassy are located in the Syrian capital of Damascus, a witness reported. The witness, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said he could not tell exactly what was happening in the Abu Rummaneh area of the Syrian capital. The Iraqi Embassy also is in the neighborhood. But the witness said "there was gunfire, explosions and quite a commotion" in the area.
