BEIRUT, Lebanon — The deadly confrontation between Syria and opposition groups spilled into Turkey for the first time on Monday as Syrian forces fired across the border near a refugee camp, casting a further pall over prospects for a United Nations peace plan due to be put into effect this week.

The shooting killed two Syrian refugees and wounded at least 23 people, including a Turkish police officer, near the southern Turkish town of Kilis.
Residents of the camp reached by telephone said bullets had ripped through their prefabricated shelters, shattering windows and spreading panic. “Even the camp isn’t safe anymore,” said Ahmad, a refugee who used only one name out of concern for repercussions in Syria.
A senior Turkish Foreign Ministry official said Syria’s ranking diplomat had been summoned and given a harsh message about Turkey’s “irritation” with the episode. There was no immediate comment from Syria.

Yeah, yeah. I know. It's really the U.S. or our minions fomenting war in order to take down Iran. Too bad there's video of this incident as well as reporting from many different sources.
