Amid chaos of uprising, crime wave hits Syria

BEIRUT (AP) ? Streets of Damascus that were crowded until late at night stand mostly empty after sunset as Syrians stay home, fearing robberies and kidnapping. After a year of chaos, a country that once boasted it was the safest in the Middle East is experiencing a surge in crime.

Reports of thefts, armed robberies and house break-ins have swelled, an apparent sign of criminals taking advantage of the turmoil as the regime of President Bashar Assad wages a bloody, nationwide crackdown against an opposition demanding his ouster.

The government blames members of the opposition or army defectors for much of the crime. The opposition, in turn, blames the regime, saying it is allowing the lawlessness so it can tell the public that the uprising has brought chaos.

But it may be that security forces are now too distracted. Syria's 17 security and intelligence agencies used to control the country with an iron fist, and crime was rare as many feared the regime's brutality. Several pardons issued by Assad over the past year as a gesture to the opposition are believed to have freed criminals ? including convicted murderers and thieves ? alongside some political prisoners.

Whatever the cause, Damascus residents say criminals are operating with unprecedented boldness.

A woman who lives in the posh Damascus neighborhood of Tijara recounted a harrowing armed robbery against her family that she said took place earlier this month. At 6 in the evening, three gunmen with automatic weapons banged on their apartment door while her mother and 8-year-old brother were home alone. The brother opened the door and the assailants stormed in, she told The Associated Press by phone from the Syrian capital.

The gunmen held a gun to the boy's head and told the mother they would shoot unless she handed over her jewelry and cash, the woman said. Her mother gave them all her jewelry and cash worth about $30,000. The gunmen forced the mother and son into a bedroom, tied their hands, locked them in and then fled, said the woman.

"This is the first such case in this neighborhood in 15 years," she said the police told her. The woman spoke on condition of anonymity for fear the criminals might harm members of her family.

Another Damascus resident said a neighbor ? a wealthy, pro-government businessman in his late 40s ? was kidnapped while going to work and was only released after his family paid a ransom worth $300,000. After the December kidnapping the man left Syria along with his wife and children. The resident also spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of making herself a target.

In the central city of Homs, a resident told the AP that gunmen knocked on the door of his neighbor, put a pistol in his face and said to him, "Give us the keys of your car."

The man said the gunmen drove away. The Homs resident, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said his neighbor still lives in fear.

Damascus residents say that many people who own luxury cars keep them at home and move around in taxis in order for them not to have their cars stolen.

Homs resident Wael, 27, said crime has doubled in some restive neighborhoods because "there is no security and people are now behaving as they want."

"In the past, we used to sleep with our windows open. Now, we cannot do that," said Wael, who asked that he only be identified with his first name.

Iyad al-Bunni, 58, a merchant from Damascus, said the absence of stability and security has allowed thieves to thrive. "Armed groups are using the security vacuum to carry out acts of looting," he said.

Pinning down the extent of the rise in crime is difficult, in part because of the potential for violence connected to the uprising and the regime's crackdown to get mixed in with nonpolitical crime. The regime denies the existence of an uprising, saying it faces not a popular revolt but violence from "terrorists" ? so it likely includes deaths connected to political violence in its crime rate.

The revolt began a year ago with peaceful protests against Assad around the country that were met with gunfire.

Since then, violence has spiraled. Some rebels have taken up arms, attacking army positions and reportedly gunning down pro-regime figures. Security forces have besieged entire cities or rebellious neighborhoods, hammering residential areas with artillery. Pro-regime militiamen known as Shabiha have targeted suspected opposition supporters. Tit-for-tat sectarian killings have taken place between majority Sunnis, who largely back the opposition, and minority Alawites, who stand by the regime.

The United Nations estimates that 8,000 people have been killed in the violence surrounding the uprising.

The Damascus general prosecutor, Marwan Louji, told the pro-government daily Baladana in January that "political, terrorist and normal" crime in the capital doubled in 2011 compared to the previous year. He said theft shot up between 50 to 100 percent. He did not otherwise elaborate.

It was not clear whether his figures included deaths connected to the uprising and crackdown or not. Louji refused an AP request to be interviewed by telephone, and Syrian security officials refused comment.

Louji told Baladana that authorities will work on making sentences harsher in an attempt to reduce crime rates. He gave an example that if a crime is usually punished with a prison sentence ranging between 3 to 15 years in jail, judges will give the maximum punishment.

Mustafa Osso, a Syria-based activist and lawyer who defends political prisoners, blamed the regime for the crimes in order to show that it must stay in power for Syria to be stable.

"They want to say that we either stay in power or fear and chaos will spread in the country," Osso said. "The regime is helping in the rise of crime rates. They released criminals serving long sentences, we are talking about dangerous criminals who committed major crimes."

New Mexicans feel pinch of rising gas prices

BERNALILLO, N.M. (AP) ? New Mexicans have joined those in other states in their irritation over the rising cost of gasoline.

With long drives required to get around this expansive state, drivers say the prices are starting to get painful and they want leaders in Washington to do something about it. A gallon of regular unleaded is averaging $3.71 in New Mexico, and it's higher in rural areas.

Families are reconsidering summer trips, and some businesses plan to charge customers for mileage because they can no longer absorb the prices.

"Five bucks, that's all I could afford," said Todd Mousel of Albuquerque, as he pulled the nozzle out of his van Monday. That was enough to give him 1.38 gallons of regular unleaded.

"I don't know how I'm going to handle higher prices," said Mousel, a mobile mechanic who travels the Albuquerque area for work. "Right now, work is slow and I'm barely able to put gas in as it is."

Larry Maestas, a Sandoval County rancher and oil and natural gas worker, is also feeling the pinch. He drives his pickup as much as 200 miles per day. Last year, he paid $18,000 in fuel costs, and he's afraid this year will be worse.

"I'm hearing that by Memorial Day weekend, it will probably be about $5 a gallon and diesel will be about $7," he said. "I'm going to have to go to a smaller vehicle, start riding my horses or something, I guess."

Rogelio Montoya of Bernalillo drives to two jobs every day and said the higher prices are creating "a very big problem."

A Gallup poll this month found 85 percent of U.S. adults believe the president and Congress "should take immediate actions to try to control the rising price of gas." An Associated Press-GfK poll last month showed 71 percent believe gas prices are a "very" or "extremely" important matter.

Maestas and Mousel said they're not surprised the price of a gallon of gas has become a campaign issue.

"It's such a political deal on both sides of the aisle," Maestas said. "It's really hard to say, but I think the president could do something about it and I don't know why he's not trying to do a little more than he is."

Mousel pointed to speculation and the lack of domestic energy production as part of the problem.

"The thing is, everybody is blaming Obama," he said. "Granted, he's not helping but this has been going on since Jimmy Carter.

"People say, 'Well, we can't drill. That's not going to help.' But just the threat of drilling, last time we talked about it, the Arabs started dropping the prices," Mousel said. "We need to drill. That's all there is to it."
