America's Arab allies have dramatically stepped up weapon supplies to Syrian rebels in preparation for a push on the capital Damascus, the main stronghold of President Bashar Assad, officials and Western military experts say, with one official saying airlifts to neighboring Jordan and Turkey have doubled the past month. The U.S. and other Western governments are involved to channel the flow toward more secular fighters, they say. The influx appears to be boosting a rebel drive to seize supply routes from the border with Jordan to Damascus. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen, File)

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian state-run TV says several mortar shells have struck the Damascus University campus, causing multiple casualties among students.
The report says the mortar rounds hit the university's architecture department in the central Baramkeh district on Thursday.
Mortar shells have become a daily occurrence in Damascus as Syria's rebels are increasingly using mortars.
The latest attack on the capital comes two days after rebels barraged Damascus with mortar shells that killed at least three people and wounded dozens in one of the most intensive attacks on the seat of President Bashar Assad's power.
