Activists: Deadly air strike at Syrian gas station

In Akcakale, on the Turkish side of the border, a large explosion was heard and in the distance in Syria, military vehicles were seen rushing toward the blast scene as smoke billowed from the area.

Tension was high as Turkish police vehicles escorted reporters covering the events in Syria away from the border. Turkish security forces were also seen moving local residents and cordoning off the area closest to Syria. Some irate Turkish residents lunged and threw stones at a car carrying an AP cameraman and at least two other media vehicles. It was not immediately clear what caused their anger.

How do we know this wasn't a NATO strike?
or if it wasn't, seems to have hit in a rebel zone, as only the rebels are reporting on this.
can we get eye witness accounts from the 300 or so people who are obviously flooding the local hospitals?

Well the US military has done it dozens of times. How many were killed when the US military bombed the air raid shelter in Iraq?
I guess we are supposed to call it NATO so no one country can be blamed.

It is always, "Ops, Sorry".

But Hilary will do her best to lay the lies on heavy.
