Syria's information minister has
denied rebel that claims they attacked President Bashar al-Assad's convoy.
Reports that rebel rockets hit his motorcade were "dreams and illusions",
Omran Zoabi told Syrian state TV.
Rebels said they fired mortars at his convoy as it headed towards the Anas
bin Malek mosque in the Malki area, where the president has a residence.
Pictures showed Mr Assad unharmed at a prayer service at a Damascus mosque to
mark the end of Ramadan.
Earlier, Islam Alloush of the militant Liwa al-Islam Brigade, told Reuters
news agency the president's motorcade was hit as it drove to the mosque in the
Syrian capital.
Opposition activists and residents also reported what seemed to be the sound
of several incoming mortar explosions in the early morning, says the BBC's Jim
Muir in Beirut.
