A Syrian Rebel Tramples Picture Of Assad

This image made from amateur video released by Shaam News Network and accessed by the Associated Press Thursday, July 19, 2012 purports to show a Syrian rebel stomping on a picture of President Bashar Assad at the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey. Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance Thursday since a bomb killed some of his top lieutenants, looking calm and composed on state TV even as his forces turned parts of Damascus into combat zones and rebels seized two of the country’s border crossings. <AP/NEWSis>
