(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has told lawmakers that a limited military strike against Syria was expected to cost "tens of millions" of dollars.
"We have looked at the different costs, depending on the different options," Hagel told a hearing at the House of Representatives late Wednesday.
"It would be in the tens of millions of dollars, that kind of range."
Pentagon officials previously had not disclosed cost estimates for a military operation, but a Pentagon spokesman said on Wednesday that it could probably be funded with existing Defense Department resources without a request for supplemental funding.
