U.S. helicopters attack border point with Iraq: Syria

Posted by Mickel

DAMASCUS (Reuters) – Syria said on Sunday that American helicopters attacked a Syrian border point with Iraq, causing casualties.

The official Syrian news agency SANA said the attack took place in the Bou Kamal border area, in eastern Syria. Bou Kamal is the main crossing point into Iraq from Syria.

Residents said the attack targeted a house in the area in which a man, his four sons and two nearby workers were killed.

A Pentagon spokesman in Washington said he had no immediate information on the reported strike but would check further.

A U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad also said he had no immediate information but was checking into the reports.

The United States and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government blame Syria for not doing enough to stop anti-U.S. rebels, including al Qaeda fighters, from infiltrating over the border.

    It is more than faja2 nakon, it is faj2a nakon… Now expect Syria to say all the dead are women and children like the PLO use to say in 1970s.

    I wonder if anyone still believe in the Syrian regime as the “Nizam Al Moumana3a wal Soumoud”.

    It is the 3rd time they are hit by Israelis and Americans, the first one the Israeli fighters were flying over Bashar’s palace, and they didn’t have any reply or reaction.
    Maybe they still haven’t found “THE RIGHT AND CONVENIENT TIME”.

    In anyway, this is a failed regime, and all the people who follow him are failed, mainly mr. Aoun, why i’m saying that? because he’s planning to visit Syria soon, maybe he will teach them some Military tactics so they will know how to defend themselves in the future.

    I don’t know how this failed regime can be so successful in Lebanon??? but maybe the answer is so clear with his many dogs here.

    the proof that in syria everyone can do what he wants…a true democracy.

    The syrian soldiers were busy LOADING explosives through the northern boarders to be sent to Tripoli, this is why they didn’t resist the american helicopters.

    YA BASHAR, khseret bas khalleek ma3na :)

    Does Syria have the capability of resisting? Does anyone among the LF find fault with the US for what it did?

  • 11. Mickel | October 28th, 2008 at 4:12 am

    David,
    Syria won’t do squat about this.

    The LF encourages the bombing of terrorists, especially in Syria.

    The US should nuke those ragheads back to the stone age.

    David

    Most 14th March people( people of the cedar revolution) are against Syria including LF. The Cedar revolution was about kicking Syria out of Lebanon and stop it from interfering in our affairs. So logically we all support the demise of this criminal regime in Syria. Hitting the Syrian borders is a message to Assad to stop playing around with the USA. However I am not sure what Obama’s politics towards Syria will be if elected.

    Cheers
