War in Syria: Are cities Safer?

wife’s father is from Damascus. He just gave me a little update the other day.
All of his relatives who lived in the suburbs have been displaced to live with

complicated. When there’s full on war there’s hardly a safe place no matter
where you are unless you escape the conflict region entirely. I would have left

generally in the country and smaller town were mass rape and genocide took
place, while Sarajevo was sieged (though it did get shelled a lot to, as well
as sniper fire)
cities are favorite targets for terrorists and may be targets of bombings and major
offensive maneuvers. This has been going on in Syiria, with car bombings in Damascus
claiming numerous lives.
