Gunmen bound for Iraq seized in Syria
BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 12 (UPI) -- Syrian security forces detained 11 suspected members of a terrorist group as they attempted to cross into Iraq, Saudi daily al-Sharq al-Awsat reported Tuesday. The paper said in the un-sourced report that the group's members belonged to several nationalities, including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya and Tunisia, and they were arrested trying to enter Iraq. It said the suspects were chased in the desert area of Abu Shamat near the Iraqi-Syrian border, and they are all Muslim fundamentalists who planned to carry out terrorist attacks in Iraq.
