The United States said June 3 it was “aware” that Syria had test-fired missiles, after a U.S. newspaper reported that Damascus launched three Scud missiles a week ago.
“We’re aware of the missiles that were launched, and I think that I’ll just leave it at that,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said, declining to comment further.
Syria test-fired three Scud missiles a week ago — one of which broke up over two Turkish villages, causing no injuries — in an act of defiance to the United States and the United Nations, The New York Times said June 3, quoting Israeli military officials.
