Source: AP

Turkey's Foreign Ministry says a bus carrying Turks has come under armed attack in Syria.

The Foreign Ministry said Monday that according to initial reports the attack occurred near the central city of Homs, where Syrian activists reported at least nine people killed by security forces on Sunday.

The daily Vatan newspaper's website, without citing sources, says the bus was carrying pilgrims. IHA news agency says the driver of the bus was injured in the attack but it managed to reach the Turkish border.

3. So, is this Turkey trying to flex it's muscles in that region and using the
attack on the "pilgrims" as its excuse?

We are just watching the previews.

there is a train coming down the tracks. It's headlight is off, but it's blasting it's whistle.

Just ask the Greek Junta how that worked out.
