ANTAKYA, Turkey — Syrian jets dropped bombs on a decades-old Palestinian refugee enclave in Damascus on Sunday after days of intense fighting in the crowded neighborhood between Syrian rebels and Palestinians who support the government, opposition activists said.
The attack on the Yarmouk camp, home to 150,000 Palestinians squeezed into less than one square mile, underscored the ferocity of fighting a month into a Syrian offensive to beat back the insurgents in the Syrian capital. Warplanes also bombed rebel positions on a road to Damascus International Airport.

Google "spanish stolen baby scandal". Huge international story. New York Times had a story July 6, 2001 -- none since. Globe, Wall Street Journal, no story ever. So, let's ask the obvious question: what did the Globe gain by not running the story? It's a Catholic state, and it's a Catholic story... What, doesn't fit into the news that the parochial powers that be want the public to know about? What did the Globe get in return for the news blackout?
