Fighting Intensifies Near Syrian Capital

Missile fire over Damascus suburbs. Amateur video, which can't be independently verified, appears to capture missiles fired from a military airport as rebels renew attacks on the Syrian capital. Amid failed ceasefires and feeble international efforts, the war to oust President Bashar al-Assad is entering its 20th month.
