US Defense Secretary: Russia "throwing gas on a fire" in Syria

US officials say they are "taken aback" over Russia's first airstrikes on Syria and they're accusing Vladimir Putin of reneging on an agreement that he reached with President Obama earlier this week in New York.


The Russians hit targets near the Syrian city of Homs, but Islamic State is not known to be operating there.
