Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Saturday that the conflict on the border between Syria and Turkey may spread to neighboring countries and create a regional war.
Turkey continued shelling of Syrian targets on Sunday in what Al Arabiya describes as immediate retaliation after a mortar round allegedly fired from Syria hit the southeastern Turkish border village of Akcakale where five civilians were killed last week.
Akcakale is a key supply route for the CIA’s Free Syria Army and other so-called rebels.

The Turkish response seemed to assume that the Syrian government was responsible,” despite conclusive evidence.
