Iraqi refugees flee Syria after attacks

ELIZABETH JACKSON: Yes, and there are reports today that these Iraqis say they‘re fleeing because they believe they‘ve been targeted by the rebel Free Syrian Army in Damascus?

MATT BROWN: Well yeah, and who can be sure about who‘s targeting them, but it is pretty ugly. In a suburb called Sayyida Zeinab in the southeast of the city there was a family of seven Iraqi refugees found executed according to the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). So quite an ugly scene there.
