Syria warns US: an eye for an eye

Syria has warned the United States of retaliatory measures if Washington launches another incursion into the country's territories.

"We would defend our territories" if the US repeats such a "criminal and terrorist aggression" against Syria, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said on Monday, a day after US commandoes launched a cross-border attack on a small Syrian border town.

During the raid, the commandoes onboard four helicopters killed at least eight people, including four children in the village of al-Sukkiraya.

"We put the responsibility on the American government. Killing civilians in international law means a terrorist aggression," the Foreign Minister said in a press conference in London, after talks with his British counterpart David Miliband.

The US confirmed the attack on Monday, saying the invasion had been a 'successful' operation against 'foreign fighters' in Syria. PressTV
