Syria confirms the attack took place, claims 8 people including 4 children were killed.
Other sources say 7 men.
I am inclied to believe that between 12-20 people were killed including several children who were put in harms way by the adults who used them as shields.
I am also inclied to believe that the US took at least two people into custody.
They had to be VERY high value targets for the US to launch the action.
VERY HIGH.
SUKKARIYEH, Syria (AP) - A resident of the village that was the scene of a U.S. raid says he saw at least two men taken into custody by American forces and whisked away by helicopter.
The villager spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his life.
Another villager at the site displayed amateur video footage he took with his mobile phone that shows four helicopters flying toward them as villagers point to the skies in alarm.
An Associated Press journalist at the attack site in far eastern Syria on Monday saw the grainy video.
A U.S. military official in Washington confirmed Sunday that special forces had conducted the raid in Syria, targeting al-Qaida-linked foreign fighters. At least seven men died.
