2 Syrians Shot at Border with Iraq

I made a terrible mistake this afternoon when I wrote that 20 Syrians had been shot at the border. It was actually two Syrian soldiers who were wounded and taken to Deir al-Zor hospital and then to Sham hospital in the capital. (Forgive me for the mistake. I called my friend in Deir al-Zor again and he corrected the story. I guess rumors were flying in the Northeast.

Also read the story by Abdullah Ta'i about the 14 year-old Syrian girl and her brother who were shot by Americans on November 4 in the town of Hirri.

If this is true, wouldn't it be used and publicized by the Syrian gvmnt.?

Josh (and I mean Josh), do you believe your countrymen's army shoots innocent civilians and little girls in cold blood (not said, but implied in your post)?

The same guys who did not kill Mullah Omar because they were double and triple checking the legality of such with HQ in the US?
