President Assad's brother-in-law also killed in attack at national security building in Damascus in #Syria

Lies. Do you really think a bunch of gangsters who can't operate the equipment given to them without their Western advisors can pull this off? This is intelligence work.

Rajha, a Christian, was defence minister, deputy army chief and deputy head of the Council of Ministers. President Bashar al-Assad is overall commander of the military.

The National Security branch -- a linchpin of Syria's security apparatus -- is headed by General Hisham Ikhtiyar. There was no immediate news of Ikhtiyar's fate after the bombing.

Born in 1941, Ikhtiyar is a key figure in the regime's repression of the 16-month revolt.
