DAMASCUS, Syria — An American school in Damascus closed its doors and told students to go home Monday after the Syrian government ordered it shut down in response to a U.S. cross-border raid near the Iraqi border. A voice message on the school’s answering machine said the Damascus Community School was closed to comply with the government’s decision.
The closure order came two days after Syria said U.S. troops in four helicopters attacked a building inside Syria near the Iraqi border.
