Attackers 'kill Syrian soldiers' in Iraq
At least 40 Syrian soldiers and government employees have been killed in the western Iraqi province of Anbar, officials in Baghdad say.
They were among a group who had fled across the border into Iraq to escape an attack by anti-government rebels, Reuters quotes officials as saying.
They were being driven back to the border when they were attacked by unidentified gunmen, Reuters reports. Iraqis are also among the dead.
