Syrian troops kill 3 in car that crossed into Lebanon
Syrian troops opened fire on a car attempting to 'illegally' cross its border into northern Lebanon on Tuesday. Three people were killed. Lebanese security officials say Syrian troops opened fire at a car that crossed illegally into northern Lebanon, killing three Lebanese men.Sounds to me like someone trying to escape....

Some Syrians have fled to Lebanon to escape the fighting, and Syria has complained that weapons are smuggled across its borders. It was not immediately clear if the shooting was related to the uprising in Syria.
Such incidents are not uncommon on the border, since many Lebanese and Syrians cross the border illegally. Several Syrians and Lebanese were killed or wounded in recent border incidents.
