Syrian FM: US may face 'painful' measures over raid
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said that his country may resort to more "painful" measures if the United States doesn't give an official explanation for a deadly cross-border raid.
Syria retaliated to the October 26 US raid that it says killed eight people by ordering the closure of an American school and cultural center in Damascus.
But Muallem said that those measures were "introductory." He warned Syria could escalate its response in the future, but did not elaborate.
Muallem spoke Sunday in a TV interview with the Lebanese ANB satellite station.
