On 21 March, just weeks after he called on Syrians to join the resistance against the "terrorists" threatening Bashar al-Assad's government, Sheikh Mohamed al-Bouti was killed in an explosioninside the Iman Mosque in central Damascus.
How did a bomber manage to infiltrate a mosque in the center of Damascus amid heightened security?
Did someone on the inside allow the killer into the building?
If this was an assassination, why arrange it to kill so many others as well as al-Bouti?
Could that "collateral damage" have occurred because, far from being a precisely-planned operation, the bomber could not get close as he wanted to his target?
