Thousands of Syrians headed toward Turkey today after President Bashar al-Assad’s air force attacked populated areas near the border, Arabic and Turkish media reported.
The strikes on a refugee camp brought retaliatory fire from Turkish anti-aircraft gunners, Al Arabiya television said, while the Turkish Anatolia news agency said several people were killed and injured during an air attack on the town of Atma. Al Jazeera television said Turkish officials were preventing the refugees leaving their country.
