Syria Accuses US in Deadly Helicopter Attack

The United States military is currently investigating claims out of Syria saying that US helicopters based in Iraq killed eight people Sunday in Syrian territory.

SANA, Syria's state news agency, reported that five US military helicopters struck a civilian building on a farm five miles within the Syrian boarder, killing three men, the wife of a guard, and four children, before returning to Iraqi air space.

Sgt. Brooke Murphy, a U.S. military spokeswoman, told CNN: "Unfortunately, we cannot confirm anything at the moment."

The attack occurred near a Red Crescent camp for Iraqi refugees, in the town of Al-Bukamal.
