Report: U.S. Launches Attack in Syria

Yesterday, explosions in Syria killed nine construction workers and wounded 19 others. Several media sources report that the attack was carried out by U.S. special forces, though the military has not issued a statement. The attack, the London Times writes, is "the culmination of years of frustration with Damascus's reluctance to police its own border with Iraq." (An anonymous military official tells the AP: "We are taking matters into our own hands.”) Syria has called the attack a "terrible crime" and demanded explanation.
