Syria Bomb Kills At Least
10 Soldiers In Damascus

'The Syrian pound plunged to a new low on Monday, apparently over news of the U.S. decision to arm the rebels, diving from 170 pounds a dollar to 210 in a single day.
Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi rushed to calm nerves, saying the government has large reserves of foreign exchange and would put in place a package of economic measures to enhance the economy.
The premier referred to the support of "friendly countries," including Iran, citing its willingness to finance Syrian imports and requirements of the industrial and agricultural production.
The governor of the central bank of Syria, Adib Mayaleh, told reporters that the bank would continue its policy of intervention to prop up the value of the pound.'

After weeks of fighting the rebels captured tanks as well as other vehicles and artillery in the area."
