(September 13, 2006)--A fourth militant who allegedly took part in an attack on the US Embassy in Syria has died from his injuries.
Three of the other suspected Islamic militants were killed in the brazen assault Tuesday.
Syrian guards exchanged gunfire outside the compound with the attackers, who shouted "God is
great" and tried to storm in with automatic weapons and hand grenades.
A Syrian guard was killed in the attack. No Americans were hurt.
The state-run Syrian News Agency says the fourth suspect could not be interrogated before he died because of the extent of his injuries.
There has been no claim of responsibility but Syria's ambassador to the US says "it's logically possible" that an al-Qaeda offshoot is responsible.
