Hmm.. so Turkey had trucks in Syria?! If this leads to more tension, and IF the story is true, It is CLEARLY Turkish Agression within Syria! Obivously, the turks are aiding the 'rebels' by assisting them in logistics/cargo movement...

Thought it was interesting, will be looking for more sources on this story,

Thoughts?!

Here are some more articles, although they are linked to the original Xinhua article, so really nothing new..

Who was driving the trucks?
What was in the trucks?
Why were those trucks there?

Interesting questions that develop.

As expected,one needs not be a prophet to have known how it was going to play out

prepare for the spin

So what's your point? Were they military trucks? The article says cargo trucks... What was the cargo? Food, medicine, arms? The article doesn't say. Did the Syrian Army know they were Turkish trucks? Too many unanswered questions to start speculating that the government of Turkey was involved at all.

Well, the article says they were Turkish trucks, encroached and within Syrian land... so I would assume that the Turks were involved, but yet again, we don't have all the information
As for the rest of your questions, I don't know. I wasn't there. hence why I said i was looking for more information regarding the story.. maybe you can spend some time researching the article yourself, and answer those questions for us friend

The truck drivers managed to escape and reached the Turkish border with the help of Syrian opposition.

" truck drivers need some Teamsters too ride with them,,"
Jimmy Hoffa,,deceased.

" Get some of the boys to go with them"
Al Capone.,,deceased.

"Lets put Satelites in the Sky too track eveything"
Govt.,,,,dieing.

Still looking around for more confirmation and or fallout from this,

From Twitter,

@Turk4Syria: Two FSA members were killed by Assad while the drivers were being rescued to the Turkish border. #Syria #Assad #Turkey

The trucks were traveling very fast and they could not find a place to turn around .... same line as the recon plane which was shot down

Must not be much of anything havent seen anything in the news about it.

it's way too easy for the Rebels to simply don Army uniforms and shoot up hospitals then come back in civilian dress to film it while the wounded bleed out.

I suspect this is another such thing. 'Rebels' in Army dress. No proof, yet.

Perhaps rogue elements within it, but i'd hedge my bet right now that no Commander would order such a thing as of yet while they are still trying to appease Turkey..

Yep...just googled news for Syria and then Turkey and this story doesnt even show up and it pulls articles from THOUSANDS of sources. I wouldnt put much stock in it.
