Assad joined prayers at a Damascus mosque for the Eid al-Fitr festival, his first appearance in a public place since a bomb blast last month killed four top security officials, although he has been seen on television since then.

The Syrian President was received upon his arrival to the Mosque by Minister of Endowment (Religious Affairs), the Mufti, Assistant Regional Secretary of the Ba’ath Arab Socialist Party, Chairman of the People’s Assembly (Parliament), and by the prime Minister, the Syrian Shamna.net news website reported.
