Attackers 'kill Syrian soldiers' in Iraq
2013-03-04
At least 40 Syrian soldiers and government employees have been killed in the western Iraqi province of Anbar, officials in Baghdad say.

They were among a group who had fled across the border into Iraq to escape an attack by anti-government rebels, Reuters quotes officials as saying.

They were being driven back to the border when they were attacked by unidentified gunmen, Reuters reports. Iraqis are also among the dead.
