Activists: Syrian intelligence base attacked - Middle East - Al Jazeera English

Syrian activists say that army defectors have attacked an intelligence complex in the Damascus suburbs, according to the Reuters news agency.

If confirmed, the attack would be the first reported assault on a major security facility in the eight-month uprising against President Bashar al Assad.

Members of the Free Syrian Army fired rockets and machine guns at a large air force intelligence complex situated in Harasta on the northern edge of the capital along the Damascus-Aleppo highway on Wednesday at about 2:30 am (0030 GMT), sources told Reuters.

A gunfight ensued and helicopters circled the area, sources said.
