An emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council has heard widespread condemnation of Israel for carrying out an air raid on Syrian territory. But the United States - Israel's closest ally - accused Syria of harbouring terrorists. Israel says its target was a training camp used by the Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad - which carried out a suicide bombing in the Israeli city of Haifa on Saturday, killing 19 people. Syria, which requested the crisis talks, called for a vote on a draft resolution condemning what it called Israel's "military aggression" but the meeting was adjourned without a vote. UN ambassadors are now consulting their governments on their next steps. Damascus has insisted the site targeted by Israel was a civilian zone. It said Israel was threatening security in the Middle East with its first attack on Syrian soil in more than 20 years.
