US Special Forces, claiming to be targeting Al Qaida fighers, has
launched an aggressive raid on civilian targets in the Syrian town
of Al Sukkariya, close to the Iraqi border. The attack killed at
least 8 people and wounded 14 others. Two children were amongst the
victims.
This attack follows strikes on Pakistan earlier this months and it
looks as though George Bush is determined to escalate violence in
the Middle East before he steps down from the US Presidency.
The attack also demonstrates why the US is determined to hang on to
Iraq and use it as a strategic launchpad undermining stability in
the region.
The Syrian government has condemned the attack as an act of
terrorist aggression.
In response Oxford Stop the War Coalition is organising an emergency
protest at 6.00pm at Cornmarket (Carfax end) tomorrow evening,
Tuesday 28 October. Please come along and also let other people know
about it.
