Australian police shared footage of an armed and clown-masked thief robbing a market in the Holland Park suburb of Brisbane, the central city of Queensland, on the evening of December 29. The footage shows that the thief, who entered the shop at 19:30 local time, took the cash box and ran away from the market while threatening the employee with a gun. The police are trying to obtain information about the suspect.
The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.
US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.
No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.
The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
