Ankara: At least two Turkish pilgrims were injured when their bus came under fire in Syria while travelling back from the Haj in Saudi Arabaia, news agencies reported on Monday.
According to reports the attack was carried out by Syrian soldiers when the bus took a wrong turn near the flashpoint city of Homs.
“We confirm that an attack took place in Syria,” a foreign ministry official told, without giving any further information.
But he added: “We repeat our warning to citizens not to visit Syria.”
