U.S. kills âforeign fighterâ on Iraq border
U.S. forces have killed a suspected "foreign fighter" who tried to cross the Iraqi border into Syria and have captured five others, U.S.-led coalition officials said Tuesday. "U.S. forces from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment prevented an illegal border crossing by a group of six suspected foreign fighters at the Syrian border Sunday evening," the Coalition Press Information Center said. "The group was attempting to flee Iraq into Syria." During their detention, one of the captured individuals attacked a U.S. soldier with a knife and was shot and killed, the coalition said.Posted by: Rafael 2003-11-18 |
