disgrace

Syrian state media say a senior army officer has been shot dead in Damascus as violence continues around the country. The killing of Brigadier-General Issa al-Khouli is thought to be the first such assassination since the uprising against President Assad began last March. From neighbouring Lebanon, Jim Muir reports.
叙利亚国家媒体称,一名高级军官在大马士革遭枪杀,同时该国的暴力活动仍在继续。据悉,陆军准将Issa al-Khouli被杀一事,是自去年3月反对阿萨德总统的起义开始以来的首次暗杀。Jim Muir在邻国黎巴嫩报道。
Syrian state television announced that General Issa al-Khouli was shot dead by gunmen lying in wait for him outside his house in north Damascus. The authorities blamed his death squarely on what it called armed terrorist groups, but activist organisations said the style of his killing had all the hallmarks of the regime on it and accused it of carrying out the murder. However, there are reports of Islamic militants crossing into Syria from Iraq, where just such killings still take place frequently. For the regime, all armed opponents are terrorists, so actions like the car bombs in Aleppo and the murder of General Khouli clearly play into its hands.
