Albert Aji ASSOCIATED PRESS Originally published 03:17 p.m., October 26, 2008 DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- U.S. military helicopters attacked an area along Syria's border with Iraq Sunday, killing eight people, the Syrian government said. The Syrian report comes just days after the commander of U.S. forces in western Iraq told reporters that American troops were redoubling efforts to secure the Syrian border, which he said was an "uncontrolled" gateway for fighters entering Iraq. A government statement carried by the official Syrian Arab News Agency said Sunday's attack was on the Sukkariyeh Farm near the town of Abu Kamal, five miles inside the Syrian border. Four helicopters attacked a civilian building under construction, firing on the workers inside, shortly before sundown, the statement said. The U.S. military in Baghdad did not immediately respond to a request for comment. washingtontimes.com http://washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/26/witnesses-us-helicopters-attack-syrian-village/ Tags: u.s., army, forces, military, baghdad, united, states, america, four, helicopters, copters, troops, soldiers, attack, syria, syrian, farm, iraq, iraqi, border, abu, kamal, sukkariyeh, village, israel, israele, middle, east, wounded, corpses, war, raid, pentagon, consultant, al-bukamal, american, aggression, imad, moustapha, cnn, jim, clancy, robert, maginnis, Author: truthvspropaganda |
