raqi-Syrian border,(Saba Net)- Around 40 people were killed in a US air strike on a suspected safe house used by foreign fighters near the Iraqi-Syrian border early Wednesday, coalition officials revealed.

The official said the air attack was ordered after people in the building opened fire on coalition forces.

Residents of the western desert town of Qaim on the Syrian border said US helicopters targeted a wedding party, apparently after people had fired in the air, a traditional way to celebrate in the Arab world.
