The U.S. now believes it did not likely kill Saddam Hussein or any other top Iraqi leaders in an attack last week near the Syrian border. But the Washington Post is reporting that five Syrian border guards were wounded in the attack which was supposed to be targeting a convoy of vehicles carrying one or more senior members of Hussein’s regime.

The Post reports the clash with the Syrian boarder guards likely occurred inside Syrian territory.

U.S. journalist in custody of Indonesian military

The BBC is reporting that U.S. journalist William Nessen has given himself up to Indonesian troops. Nessen had spent several weeks with separatists on the Indonesian province of Aceh.

Indonesian officials said Nessen would be interrogated for his actions. The BBC reports Indonesia has threatened to treat him as a spy instead of a journalist.

The Committee to Protect Journalists and the U.S. Embassy have urged Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri to help Nessen leave Aceh safely.

Meanwhile human rights groups from around the world are calling for an international military embargo on Indonesia. The boycott call came a day after the Indonesian military said it had begun using British-made Scorpion tanks in the attack on Aceh.
