US bomb Syria

Syrian officials say US helicopter-borne troops have carried out a raid inside Syria along the Iraqi border, killing eight people, including four children.



The official Syrian news agency, Sana, says the raid took place in the Abu Kamal border area, in eastern Syria.



It says that American soldiers on four helicopters had stormed a building under construction on Sunday night.



The US says it is investigating. It has previously accused Syria of allowing foreign militants into Iraq.



Syria has summoned the US and Iraqi envoys in Damascus to protest the raid.
