(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 8 - Syrian rebels are looking for men from deposed dictator Bashar al-Assad's regime in foreign embassies in Damascus including the Italian one, the Farnesina (foreign ministry) said Sunday saying that its ambassador and diplomatic staff were in another safe place.
    A group of militiamen among those present since last night in Damascus entered the residence of the Italian ambassador where they carried out a sort of reconnaissance, the Farnesina announced.
    The Farnesina is managing the situation with contacts with allied countries to guarantee the safety of the staff and the protection of its diplomatic offices.
    The militiamen are also carrying out searches in embassies and in the offices of international NGOs presumably to verify the presence of leaders of the regime on the run (ANSA).
