Coalition called Russians, overflew the convoy, fired warning shots but it wouldn't stop, so took out lead section, per an official #syria

So they won't reach border crossing now ??

Today's U.S. strike & the FSA ground attack was directly coordinated, using SOF near al-Tanf. #Russia was also pre-informed of U.S. intent.

They will keep trying. This crossing is extremely important to Assad/Iran.

Of deaths true expect blowback somewhere

Russian S-300 are no more effective than Microsoft X-Box game console at protecting Syrian airspace.

US jets bomb Assad tank convoy advancing on coalition base in Syria

US-led coalition aircraft bombed forces allied to the Syrian government on Thursday, after they advanced too close to a base where Western special forces are training rebel fighters.

American jets were understood to have struck a convoy of 27 tanks as they moved to within 15 miles of a coalition garrison in al-Tanf, a border crossing point to Iraq in southern Syria, marking the most direct clash between coalition forces and fighters with Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Syrian, Iranian and allied Lebanese Hizbollah forces have in recent days moved surface-to-air missiles closer to the eastern frontline with the moderate Free Syrian Army (FSA) units, in an apparent warning to the US-led coalition, which flies sorties against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) in the area.

@Brasco_Aad: Kata'ib al Imam Ali is one of the strongest Popular Mobilization Units in all of Iraq. The US has opened Pandora's box by bombing them today

See, and they say that brits and americans can't agree on anything - nonsense!

That's a open act of war against the legitimate government of Syria and the Syrian people.

Committed by the #jokegovernment of the United States of America and it's people.

I hope everyone is prepared for happens next.

Assad will up the number of people he murders then burns in the crematoriums?

Assad gasses more of his own people with outlawed chemical weapons?

@pyrmha108: US bombing Kata'ib al Imam Ali in Syria to prevent them from joining up with PMUs in Iraq will now place US SOFs around Mosul in jeopardy.

to syria go
