U.S. troops killed in Syria suicide attack claimed by ISIS

[Bucky]

U.S. troops were among those killed Wednesday in an attack in northern Syria, the U.S. military has confirmed to CBS News. The U.S.-led coalition in Syria, Operation Inherent Resolve, only confirmed in a tweet that coalition members "conducted a routine patrol" in Syria on Wednesday, and said it was still gathering information.

A U.S. military official, however, confirmed to CBS News senior national defense correspondent David Martin reports by Kurdish media outlets that at least two Americans were among the dead in the city of Manbij, not far from the Turkish border, after an explosion hit a coalition convoy.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told CBS News on Wednesday that President Trump had been "fully briefed and we will continue to monitor the ongoing situation in Syria." She referred all further questions to the U.S. military.

Got the rest of the troops out of there. We are putting u.s troops lives in danger by keeping them there.

There were deaths in both the European and Pacific theaters after surrenders in 1945... IIRC

Hmm... when have troops deployed to war zones not been "put in danger"? Isn't fighting terrorists who make areas dangerous precisely the purpose of having well trained and equipped troops?

But Trump said ISIS was defeated. Even the terrorist know Rump is full of BS. The man is incompetent.
