JUST IN - US Forces Conduct Raid In Syria

JUST IN - US Forces Conduct Raid In Syria

2:18PM EST: According various Middle-East reports,�residents in a Syrian border town near Iraq report that US forces have killed seven men in a helicopter-borne commando attack inside Syria.

Doctors in a town approximately eight kilometres from the Iraqi border, said seven corpses and four wounded had been delivered to a nearby clinic after the attack.

Eyewitnesses reported to local media that four helicopters were involved in the operation, with two of the helicopters landing in the town and eight American soldiers disembarking. The eyewitnesses said that the seven killed men were supposedly construction workers.

Afterwards, the US helicopters then left Syrian airspace with all the soldiers again on board.

There was no initial US comment about the reported incident. If confirmed, it would be the first time that US forces had carried out an attack on Syrian soil.

Reuters reported that the official Syrian news agency SANA did not identify the helicopters but said the attack took place in the Bou Kamal border area, in eastern Syria.

Further details on this developing story will be forthcoming......
