[QUOTE]Irish troops serving on the United Nations mission in Syria have come under fire from anti government armed forces, with a number of their vehicles damaged in a morning ambush.
A number of the vehicles were hit by rounds of fire and some damage was also caused to a tire on one MOWAG. It is believed the wheel was damaged by an improvised explosive device, which raises the prospect the incident was a [B]carefully planned ambush[/B]
Yesterday’s incident appears to be different in that the UN vehicles the Irish were in were [B]targeted and deliberately hit.[/B][/QUOTE]

Actually there are more than two. There's Liechtenstein for example.

Yet its army is only used in peacekeeping missions and hasn't much to do with anti-terrorism at all. It has nothing to do with Ireland's past
I hope they recover well, my heart and prayers go out to them
