Syrian govt. legally allowed to target US drones flying over Syria

A political analyst says the Syrian government has the legal right to target the US military and intelligence drones operating over Syria, Press TV reports.

“Syria has the right to use military capability to disturb this mission and even to attack those aircraft,” said Hisham Jaber, the director of Center for Middle East Studies in an interview with Press TV on Saturday.

He made the comment after NBC News claimed earlier that the US military has dispatched a “good number” of unmanned drones for operations in Syrian airspace to monitor “the Syrian military attacks against opposition forces.”
