Human Rights and Civil Society in the Islamic World : News and Archives: "Syria condemns deadly 'US raid'
Syria has condemned an alleged US raid that killed at least eight people in the country's east, close to the border with Iraq, calling it an act of 'serious aggression'.
Damascus was considering its response to the attack, a spokesperson for the Syrian information ministry told Al Jazeera on Monday.
'No doubt there will be a reaction [from Syria] of some kind,' Reem Haddad told Al Jazeera.
The US has not officially responded to Syria's accusation, but an unnamed US military official was reported by The Associated Press as saying that the raid by US special forces targeted al-Qaeda-linked foreign fighters who were moving through Syria into Iraq.
'We are taking matters into our own hands,' he was quoted as saying.
The US military in Iraq said it did not have any information about the incident."
