"frontline"'s martin smith visited the war-torn country this summary after securing a rare government visa to report on the ground. he witnessed evidence of a country at war, but also captured an alternate view of life there. for tonight's documentary inside assad's syria. in the following excerpt, smith visits a new resort development with syria's tourism minister located just outside the bombed city. >> during my visit i meet the man in charge of the campaign. syria's minister of tourism. >> how do you do? fine. nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you. the minister is still very upbeat about his mission. >> reporter: the minister is here in homs to see one other project. so we follow him and the governor through the bombed-out remains of central homs to this place five miles east of the city. the resort isn't fully open yet, just the pool and public areas. everyone seems excited. the minister's visit attracts ten local reporters, and the resort is already taking reservations. the official opening is just a month away. >> just ten miles from rebel lines, the animals look as stunned as

joining us now, producer martin smith, you spent several weeks inside syria, right, this summer? there? because not a lot of journalists can get into that part of syria. >> yeah, it took me a long time, and i made a lot of phone calls, and i was working on it for a good year. and finally i got a phone call saying there's this guy that's shot all the footage and he's been with regime forces, would you like to see his footage? sure, but i'd like to come and take a look at it there. they're beginning to let some journalists in, but they give them seven-day visas and they mind them closely. >> did you have a minder? >> i did not. i had protection, i had people that would get me through checkpoints, but i didn't have the sort of minder that the ministry of information gives you. we had permission from the president's office to go freely and an open-ended visa, not seven days. >> how many control does assad have, how much territory is under his control? >> right. it's about a third of the country. maybe a little less. it's a strip of land along the western coast, or western coast up no

smith. investigation gets under way as to exactly what happened in ankara. >> reporter: yes, it is, martine. the government has always told the prime minister that this suspicion was carried out by two suicide bombers. but no claims of responsibility yet, the government suggesting it could be i.s.i.l, or it could be the pkk. now, the kurdistan workers party, the pkk. now they actually have been trailing a ceasefire in the last two or three days and that was supposed to be announced officially today, in fact they announced it on the saturday straight after that bombing and the pkk normally pretty quick to claim responsibility for any attacks it might have launched. it is certainly never done anything on this scale but no indication yet as to who is responsible for this bombing. certainly no claims of responsibility from i.s.i.l. or even the possibility of a far left wing group here in turkey. they have launched attacks in the last few months but really on a much, much smaller scale than this which is the biggest terror attack inside turkey in turkey's modern history. >> it does appear ethnic
