US missile strikes Syrian passenger bus
Holy maloney!A US missile has hit a Syrian passenger bus near the Iraqi border, killing five people and injuring 10 others. The bus was carrying Syrians fleeing the war in Iraq. A spokeswoman for the US Central Command says Allied forces do not target civilians, and that their targeting is done very carefully, using precision-guided missiles, to select military targets. The wounded have been taken to a Syrian hospital on the border. Syria, which strongly opposes the US-led war in Iraq, has repeatedly called for a peaceful solution to the crisis.
