President is shown on state television after reports his motorcade was hit by rockets near his home in a Damascus suburb
Syrian rebels say they have targeted President Bashar al-Assad's motorcade near his home in Damascus, but state television has shown him unharmed and the government denies there was an attack.
A spokesman for the rebel group Liwa al-Islam, one of two that said they had carried out attacks in Assad's neighbourhood on Thursday, told Al Jazeera they were sure they had hit the convoy with rockets.
"We have monitors in the area who confirm that the attack hit some of the president's guards," he said. "It also hit checkpoints in the area. It was at 7:20 in the morning."
