6. Per a post by tabatha: ""There were clashes between FSA and Syrian army . . . not clear if injured

were refugees or FSA members. While Syrian army was shooting on Syrian, bullets injured 4 people in the camp too." This was no unprovoked attack on innocent refugees. Here's a local account she reposted explaining what happened: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=536975

To avoid any misunderstanding, let me explain what has happened today in Kilis at Syria Turkey border around Syrian refugee camp

The Syrian refugee camp in Kilis is right at official border border gate Oncupinar in Kilis

In late nihgt early morning Syrian army attacked on a village near Al izzaz and there were clashes between FSA and Syrian army

Many refugees came to Turkey border very early morning and were trying to cross into Turkey where Kilis camp is

Turkish police and military did not let refugees to cross into Turkey from there because the area is a land mines filed

Syrian refugees in the camp were angry went out of teh camp and were trying to bring new refugees into Turkey

While those refugees were trying to cross into Turkey, Syrian army's snipers were shooting them at the same time

Finally the refugees were able to brought to Turkish side of the border but 21 people were injured in Syrian side

It was not clear if injured were refugees or FSA members. Whlie Syrian army was shooting on Syrian, bullets injured 4 people in the camp too

2 of those 21 injured died and 19 have been taken to hospital. 2 Syrian and 2 Turks have been injured
in camp also taken to hospital.
