U.S. planes strike near Syria border-medical source


RAMADI, Iraq, Sept 13 (Reuters) - U.S. aircraft struck insurgent targets in the Iraqi town of Karabila, near the Syrian border, more than 10 times on Tuesday, a hospital source told Reuters.

"American aircraft have struck the city of Karabila more than 10 times," the source said. A security source added that the Iraqi army also clashed with insurgents at Gumruk, near Karabila, on Tuesday.

The hospital source said families were beginning to leave Karabila after the air strikes and heading for Haditha -- where the U.S. military said earlier on Tuesday it had killed four insurgents and captured another in an air strike on a house.
