The problem I have with the interpretation with the bombings in Turkey so far is that Assad has nothing to gain from doing like that, only to lose.
Let's wait, run silent and listen for a while.
Could be that it turns out that that the rebels are behind the car bombings, to provoke a NATO reaction from which they would benefit.
I also do not rule out that the Turkish MIT is behind it (their National Intelligence Organisation). Again, to provoke an intervention or blackmail NATO for support to Turkey. Erdoghan has a proven motive in that regard - he wants the intervention since long. He also has shown to be unscrupulous when it comes to provoking and manipulating, even getting his people killed in ordering these stunts. Turkish jets into Syria, Gaza flotilla - to name just the two most popular examples...
Before you think that is conspiration theory, get some information on the MIT's record and reputation. It's nobody you want to deal with, really. Also, I do not claim that it was the MIT for sure. I only say I do not rule it out until they are proven innocent, and that the Turkish side has a motive to give events such a dramatic twist.
