Damascus,
Oct 26 (DPA) US forces killed seven men in a helicopter-borne
attack inside Syria, residents in a Syrian border town near
Iraq reported Sunday.
Doctors
in the town of Al-Sukkariya, some eight kilometres from the
Iraqi border, said seven corpses and four wounded had been
delivered to a nearby clinic after the attack.
The
eyewitness accounts said that four helicopters were involved
