Syria is still pointing to inappropriate USA strike over its border. Iraq responds with border patrol.


Syrian men prepare to bury relatives who were killed yesterday in a U.S. military raid in the village of Sukkiraya, on the Syria-Iraq border, on October 27, 2008. U.S. forces crossed into Syria yesterday, mounting a "successful" raid against foreign fighters, a U.S. official said today. Iraq said that the deadly raid that killed eight people was targeting an area used by insurgents plotting attacks on its soil.
