"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Suicide bombing kills 15 near Damascus: State news- Al-Akhbar


A suicide bomber blew up a vehicle at a bus stop west of Damascus on Tuesday, killing at least 15 people, state television said.
"The terrorist explosion in front of the bus stop in Somariyeh was caused by a suicide attacker," the broadcaster said in a news flash.
"It killed at least 15 citizens and wounded more than 30."
The bombing came as rebels, including al-Qaeda loyalists, pressed a four-day-old offensive to lift a year-long siege by the army of their positions in eastern suburbs of the capital.
Fighting also raged in the Qalamoun mountains north of Damascus, a border area where the army has been battling to cut rebel supply lines to neighboring Lebanon.
Health Minister Saad al-Nayef accused the rebels of killing "five doctors, five nurses and two ambulance drivers" in the Qalamoun town of Deir Attiyeh after they seized it from the army last week.
