Iraq's US-backed government says it does not approve of a deadly US raid into Syria.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh's comments were the first official Iraqi condemnation of Sunday's raid.
Al-Dabbagh spoke after a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that was chaired by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
He says the government "rejects" the raid even if the US claims such operations are legitimate. He also says Iraq doesn't want its territory to be used for attacks in neighboring nations.
But he urged Syria to crack down on what he said are "organizations" operating on its territory that have the intention of harming Iraq.
A US military official said the target was a network that smuggles fighters and weapons into Iraq.
