Syrian Intelligence Chief Killed In Deir al-Zour -- BBC
A senior Military Intelligence officer has been killed in eastern Syria, state media and activists say.
State television reported on Thursday that Gen Jamaa Jamaa had died while "carrying out his national duties" and "pursuing terrorists" in Deir al-Zour.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said he was shot by a sniper during clashes between government and rebel forces in the city's Rashdiya district.
Gen Jamaa was close to President Bashar al-Assad, the UK-based group added.
He was commander of Syrian Military Intelligence's headquarters in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, when former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated there in 2005.
