Supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad attacked the U.S. and French embassies in the capital city of Damascus Monday. The attackers broke into the U.S. embassy while security guards used live ammunition to prevent hundreds from storming the French embassy. In related news, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued her strongest criticism of the Syrian government to date Monday, saying Assad had “lost legitimacy,” and added the president is “not indispensable and we have absolutely nothing invested in him remaining in power.”
