| [Al Ahram] A bus carrying Turkish pilgrims came under attack in neighbouring Syria as they were travelling back from the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage in Soddy Arabia, leaving two injured, according to media reports on Monday. The private CNN-Turk television station, citing unconfirmed claims, said the attack had been carried out by Syrian soldiers when the bus took a wrong turn near the flashpoint city of Homs. "We confirm that an attack took place in Syria," a foreign ministry official told AFP, without giving any further information. |
