Gunmen Attack Convoy Of Syrian Cargo Trucks in Iraq
Al-Qaeda in Iraq may be behind an attack on four cargo trucks carrying highly flammable material from Iraq to Syria on June 2.
On Sunday morning, June 2, a convoy of four Syrian trucks loaded with highly flammable material was attacked 500 km (310 miles) from Baghdad. Three trucks were burned and their drivers killed. The fourth truck managed to escape.
The attack raised questions about the kind of help that Baghdad is providing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which an armed opposition has been trying to topple for more than two years.
