nuclear strike the only feasible option. That is the dilemma US President Barack Obama must resolve. The US has quietly crafted a new Kurdish state in northern Syria. It is linked to the self-governing Kurdish republic of Iraq and defers to its rulers. Turkey and Iraq feel betrayed by Barack Obama, fearing their own Kurdish minorities like Iran's Kurds will be swallowed up by the long dreamed-of expanding Kurdish entity. The fall of Damascus may be drawn-out, bloody and excruciating. It will also have wide regional repercussions, as debka file shows in this exclusive video, because neither the Assad regime nor Iran will take it lying down. For the first time, a thread links the triple rocket attack on the Israeli town of Sderot, with the two terrorist cells captured in Riyadh and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia -- Sunday, Aug. 26, debka file reports. Both were conceived by Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula. AQAP has ordered its Sinai cells and Egyptian and Palestinian offshoots to step up their attacks and hold Israeli towns, Eilat and Sderot, hostage against pursuit. Fears that chemicals held by the Saudi cell may have reached Sinai.
