The map below was posted online by activists in the local
revolutionary coordinating committee for the Kfar Souseh neighborhood of Damascus.
It purports to show the new locations of regime security forces in that neighborhood
through 8/31/2013. The Syrian military forces have been redeploying military
assets in the past few weeks in preparation for a possible U.S. strike, moving
potential targets out of military complexes and into civilian buildings and
covert locations.
