'Free Syrian Army' claims Damascus suburb after fierce fighting

There's been a massive demonstration in a town just outside Damascus, that's fallen under the control of the opposition Free Syria Army. Some suburbs have seen nearly two dozen killed in the past two days, and buildings heavily-shelled. RT's Sara Firth has exclusive footage from the besieged town.

@mircx3 as for people adoring restrictions like freedom of speech, what about the new NDAA bill Obama signed into law? The government now have the power to arrest American citizens indefinitely without trial or reason, assassinate people if he wants to, shut down the Internet if he chooses to, and these are only a few examples of the new bill. So why aren't u talking shit about Obama? He's the worlds newest dictator.

@mircx3 Al Asad is committing murder, or so u say. George Bush Jr had committed genocide and no one has condemned him. The amount of "mostly unarmed protesters" that have died in Syria this past year, George bush killed within 2 weeks in Iraq. Why hasn't the U.N demanded for his immediate arrest for crimes against humanity? RT may be a bit biased, but CNN and Fox don't have a shred of credibility, deuchebag!!!!!!

When will my people realize that this world is quickly being turned upside down, and that Life without Jesus Christ is death! For those who want true love,peace for all eternity then accept into your hearts and confess with your mouth that Jesus your Lord and savoir died for your sin and that he is the only way to Heaven. Jesus laid his life on the line not for bragging rights, but so that people like you could be accepted into his loving family FOREVER! God bless my brothers/sisters God is love
