Syria Accuses U.S. Of Aggression

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Syria has accused the United States of aggression
following a U.S. military raid inside Syria.
At least seven people were killed when U.S. helicopters struck a
construction site near the town of Abu Kamal on the Syrian side of the
border with Iraq. Syria authorities, who accused the U.S. of targeting
civilian construction workers, said that three children were among those
killed in the strike on Oct. 26.
"The Americans do it in the daylight, this means it is not a mistake,
its by blunt determination," Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said.
"For that we consider this criminal and terrorist aggression. Killing
civilians in international law means a terrorist aggression."
