Fierce fighting broke out in the
Syrian capital, Damascus, as rebels attacked forces loyal to President Bashar
al-Assad, witnesses and rebels said.
Much of the violence was centred around the Jobar district and a key junction
on the Damascus ring road.
But it was not clear whether the rebels managed to retain any territory they
claimed in battle, and the Syrian army said it too launched an offensive.
