MANBIJ/ANKARA
A suicide attack in Syria’s northeastern city of Manbij on Wednesday killed several civilian passersby and injured three U.S. soldiers, according to local sources.
The Daesh terrorist group has since claimed responsibility for the bombing, which, the group said, was carried out by a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest.
The attack, which occurred near midday, targeted U.S. troops conducting patrols around the city, which remains under the control of the YPG/PKK terrorist group.
