MOSCOW, October 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is greatly concerned over
reports that U.S. forces carried out a strike within Syrian territory,
the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
Official Syrian media earlier reported that American helicopter-borne
troops launched an assault on Sunday on a building in a village near
the Iraqi border, killing eight civilians.
U.S. officials said the strike targeted al-Qaida-linked fighters moving
through Syria into Iraq, but Syria said four children were among those
killed.
"Eight people were killed as a result," Foreign Ministry spokesman
Andrei Nesterenko said.
"Moscow is greatly concerned by these events.
We believe that the War on Terror slogan must not be used to attack the
territory of sovereignty states.
