01/30/12: CBC News reports that an "armed terrorist group" in Syria blew up a gas pipeline at dawn Monday, the state-run media said, as activists reported gunfire and explosions in the suburbs of Damascus. The pipeline carries gas from the central province of Homs to an area near the border with Lebanon. SANA news agency reported that the blast happened in Tal Hosh, which is about eight kilometres from Talkalakh, along the border with Lebanon. There have been several pipeline attacks since the Syrian uprising began in mid-March, but it is not clear who is behind them.
