Lebanese media accused Israel Wednesday of striking a convoy traveling from the Iraqi border into Syria.

According to reports, at least 10 people were killed in the strike that hit a convoy of about 15 trucks that had crossed from Iraq into Syria near Al-Qaim. A US source told BBC that an attack did take place near Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria and that the Central Command was investigating the circumstances.

The strike came a day after a US citizen, 45-year-old Stephen Edward Troell, was fatally shot in central Baghdad.

Troell, a native of Tennessee, was killed by unknown assailants in his car as he pulled up to the street where he lived with his family in Baghdad's central Karrada district. It was a rare killing of a foreigner in Iraq in recent years, as security conditions have improved.

No group claimed responsibility for Troell's killing. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, less than two weeks in office, ordered an investigation.

At a news conference Tuesday, Sudani insinuated that the attack may have been perpetrated by rivals intending on undermine his premiership, adding, "Those who want to test our government in terms of security will fail."

The US Embassy in Baghdad said it was closely monitoring the investigation by Iraqi authorities, but declined to comment further.
