Excerpt:

Gunmen eliminated the brother of Syria's parliament speaker in a hail of bullets as he drove to work in Damascus on Tuesday, the state news agency said, as the worldwide envoy for Syria alerted the nation could possibly become an additional Somalia. Mohammed Osama Laham, the brother of Parliament Speaker Jihad Laham, came to be the most recent sufferer of a wave of assassinations targeting Syrian %%PRO6%%s, army officers and various other prominent proponents of President Bashar Assad's routine. Four of the leader's leading security %%PRO6%%s were eliminated in a rebel bombing on the state security head office in Damascus in July. Laham was gunned down in the Damascus neighborhood of Midan, the SANA state news agency said. The killing came a day after a few of the most extreme fighting in Damascus in months as rebels salary a civil war to unseat Assad.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
