2011-12-07
[An Nahar] Syria foiled an operation by "terrorists" to infiltrate the country from neighboring Turkey, the official news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.

"Border guards last (Monday) night thwarted an attempted infiltration by armed terrorist groups from Turkey" in the Ain Bayda sector of Idlib province of northwest Syria, it said.

It added that an unspecified number of the 35 gunnies were maimed and the rest decamped back into Turkey, without any casualties among the border guards.

"Cars were heard taking the maimed gunnies away on the Turkish side," SANA reported.
