Syria: US choppers attack village near Iraq border
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D942DS980&show_article=1
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - U.S. military helicopters attacked territory inside Syria close to its border with Iraq Sunday, killing eight people in a strike the Syrian government condemned as “serious aggression.”
A U.S. military official said the raid by special forces targeted the foreign fighter network that travels through Syria into Iraq in an area where the Americans have been unable to shut it down because it was out of the military’s reach.
“We are taking matters into our own hands,” the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the political sensitivity of cross-border raids.
The attack came just days after the commander of U.S. forces in western Iraq said American troops were redoubling efforts to secure the Syrian border, which he called an “uncontrolled” gateway for fighters entering Iraq.
A Syrian government statement carried by the official Syrian Arab News Agency said the helicopters attacked the Sukkariyeh Farm near the town of Abu Kamal, five miles inside the Syrian border. Four helicopters attacked a civilian building under construction shortly before sundown and fired on workers inside, the statement said.
The area is near the Iraqi border city of Qaim, which had been a major crossing point for fighters, weapons and money coming into Iraq to fuel the Sunni insurgency.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry said it summoned the charges d’affaires of the United States and Iraq to protest against the strike.
Thanks for all you’ve done (and do), Cindy. We appreciate you more than you know.
Hi Cindy,
as always your hard work here has been appreciated over the years, plenty. i wonder if you sleep sometimes. but no matter the outcome of the new election, won’t we still have this issue to deal with? why are you leaving, if obama wins? he also has policies on terrorism, from what i gather he wont be so trigger ready as former politicians, but Mcain is also taking a different route. why give up your livelihood?
you yourself say ‘Jihad - another day’ right, don’t think of it from a presidential standpoint, the enemies are still there no matter who gets into power.
i’m just curious as to why you’d leave according to presidency when the enemy is the same???
boggles me...but in any case, take care of yourself.. you need a break from this place. for your health id almost vote obama.
all the best.
I missed it, glad you reposted. May God bless you.
