September 02, 2012: What happened on that day?


Here's what happened on September 02, 2012:

  • Syrian Civil War: Car Bomb and Rebel Activity in Damascus On September 2, 2012, a devastating car bomb attack near the Damascene suburb of Sbeineh (Sabina) killed at least 15 people. The perpetrators remained unknown. Syrian rebels claimed to have captured Harem, a village near Idlib close to the Turkish border, after a three-day siege. Despite rebel claims, the Syrian government maintained air supremacy. U.N. Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi emphasized the responsibility of both conflict parties to seek peaceful resolution.
  • U.S. Military Training Suspension in Afghanistan The Washington Post reported that U.S. Special Operations personnel temporarily halted training of Afghan police and army recruits. This decision came amid a comprehensive background check of 27,000 individuals, following 45 NATO soldier deaths in 'green-on-blue' attacks this year.
  • Turkish-Kurdish Conflict Escalation Intense clashes between Turkish security forces and Kurdish rebels in the southeastern province of Sirnak resulted in significant casualties: ten Turkish soldiers and twenty Kurdish fighters were killed.
  • Damascus Twin Explosions Twin explosions occurred in the Abu Rummaneh neighborhood of Damascus, near a security force compound, resulting in at least six people being injured.
  • Drone Strike in Yemen A drone attack in central Yemen reportedly killed ten suspected Al-Qaeda militants and three female companions. Conflicting reports suggest an alternative scenario where a government air strike missed its target and killed ten civilians in a car.
  • South Sudan Appoints First UN Ambassador South Sudan appointed Francis Deng as its inaugural ambassador to the United Nations, symbolizing the young nation's diplomatic emergence.
  • Egypt Lifts Ban on Veiled News Presenters Egypt's state television ended a decades-long ban, now allowing female news presenters to wear veiled clothing, marking a significant cultural shift.
