叙利亚传媒报道,驻伊美军前日罕有大规模向叙利亚境内村庄开火,造成8名平民死亡。据香港《文汇报》综合外电报道,在美国大选前夕,美军罕有跨境攻击,有网上评论质疑美国总统布什是否要为共和党总统候选人麦凯恩“做点事”,引爆“10月惊奇”,替他反胜。
叙利亚官方媒体表示,4架美军直升机入侵叙利亚领空,袭击离边境8公里一个农场的民居,8人死亡,包括4名小童,另有一人受伤,直升机随后飞往伊拉克方向。
叙利亚外长指责美国在白天发动袭击,显然并非意外,行径如“恐怖侵略”,如果美国再有行动,叙利亚将反击保护国土。目击者说,8名美军下机向建筑内的工人开火,历时15分钟。
叙利亚已紧急召见美伊外交代表以示抗议,有官员谴责袭击是“无法无天的暴行”,要求美国承担所有后果。伊朗外交部表示谴责,并有政客声称美国在没知会伊政府下发动袭击。俄罗斯外交部亦谴责事件。
美国国防部和华府拒绝评论,但有不愿透露姓名的美军官员表示,突击是要针对潜入伊拉克的“基地”组织恐怖分子,美军无法阻止叙利亚境内的恐怖活动,所以私下采取行动。有美国官员确认,美军在行动中成功突袭外来武装分子。
如果证实确有其事,将会是美军自2003年入侵伊拉克以来,首次在叙利亚境内发动的大型袭击。英国广播公司分析,任何跨境军事行动都应该要高层作决定,今次可能是布什政府向叙利亚的临别惩戒。
网上评论则指,4年前美国大选前夕,恐怖大亨拉登在10月29日发表讲话,民主党的克里最终败北,很多人相信与拉登讲话不无关系。现时美国经济岌岌可危,经济议题一向不是麦凯恩的强项,布什是否为保执政共和党影响力而“使横手”转移民众视线,助麦凯恩一把,仍要看未来几日的发展。
