US attack on convoy may have been inside Syria: Pentagon
WASHINGTON (AFP) Jun 23, 2003
 A US attack last week on a convoy believed to have been carrying Iraqi leaders injured several Syrians and may have occurred inside Syrian territory, a US Defense Department spokesman said Monday.

The attack occurred Thursday near the Syrian border against suspected "leadership targets" in a convoy headed toward Syria, said Lieutenant Colonel Gary Keck.

"There were a few Syrian nationals involved in the incident," said the Pentagon spokesman. "A few may have been injured. We are treating those."
