Syrian troops mass on Turkey border

Syrian troops and vehicles are apparently sweeping through Khirbet Al Jouz, a village near the Turkish border. Witnesses say the military is looking for anti government protesters.

Syrian military vehicles could be seen moving along the border near that village. The Red Cresent says 600 hundred people have fled the crackdown into Turkey.

Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught is there, in the Turkish village of Guvecci.

@brianhowell2468 This is funny. Turkish army actually never fought aganist Muslim countries even though Turkey is nato member. US, EU and NATO surely pressure Turkish government to fight aganist Muslim countries but Turkish army only educate other army officiers in middle east. As Turkish is successor of Ottoman they wont and cant and wouldnt attack Muslim Country.

I hope the Turks beat the shit out of Syria.

@TheStalkerVan HAHA 16th strongest in your dreams, according to GFP Turkey is the 6th strongest army in the world. Egypt is 16th and Syria is 35th .. you're like a sheep trying to kill a wolf .. Syria stands no chance against the Turkish armed forced in normal conditions. Let alone the condition you're in right now.

Assad is really playing with fire, he is confronting a superior country with a superior army with superior tactics, Turkey can take out syria singlehanded, but if the unthinkable should happens, Turkey is also a NATO member, dont mess with Turkey,
