Syrian Americans protest possible US attack in Syria

Syrians from Southern New England using all they have at a protest Thursday afternoon, begging the US not strike Syria. Close to a hundred rallied outside the state house saying the US is attacking the wrong side.

They came to the statehouse to protest a possible US strike on the Syrian military. At least a hundred Syrians were killed last week in a chemical weapons attack. An attack the US believes was acted out by the Syrian government. But the Syrian Americans say the US is targeting the wrong people.

"If the US hits Syria and the military bases, who's going to take over, just let me know, who's going to take over, the rebels, Al Qaeda, the terrorists, people who have created September 11th over here, its going to happen again,"said Chantal Raheb.

Chantal Raheb and her mother, Lina, scroll through pictures of their family in Aleppo, Syria. They say they can barely get a hold of them anymore, and when they do, the fear in their voice is unsettling.
