Syria: U.S. condemns Syrian attacks on U.S., French embassies - latimes.com: "Reporting from Washington and Beirut— The Obama administration angrily accused Syrian authorities of instigating attacks on the U.S. and French embassies in Damascus to divert attention from Syria's deadly crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, marking a sharp escalation in tensions between the West and the regime of embattled President Bashar Assad.

U.S. Marine guards fired multiple volleys of tear gas Monday, but pro-government demonstrators were able to climb a fence, scale the roof of an embassy building, knock out security cameras, smash windows and raise a Syrian flag, U.S. officials said."
