Iraqi sources report that the positions were occupied by the soldiers of the 45th and 46th Brigades of the Iraqi People's Militia Forces, 22 people were killed and 12 others were injured.
As far as I remember, the 45th Brigade is "Kataib Hezbollah"

An article from 1991 detailing Syria's alliance with the United States and its Coalition partners during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

Couple of interesting quotes.

 

As one Western diplomat observed, superpower relations with Syria were a zero-sum game: Any gain for Syria was a Soviet gain, and any gain for Israel was an American gain.

But Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev`s refusal to supply Syria with sophisticated weaponry, and his decision to allow a mass migration of Soviet Jews to Israel, caused Assad to rethink his position and to begin cultivating the West-especially the U.S.

 

...

 

The U.S.-Syrian rapprochment is controversial in the U.S.

Many Americans remember Assad as the ``butcher of Hama,`` the leader who laid siege to the city of Hama in 1982 and killed at least 10,000 residents in his bid to wipe out the Muslim Brotherhood that opposed him.
