US forces create ‘terrorist reserve’ in Syria’s Al-Tanf
[ALMASDARNEWS] United States special forces operatives based in Syria’s al-Tanf region near the Iraqi border have willingly created a ’reserve for terrorists’ according to Russian Deputy Minister of Defence Alexander Fomin.

The Russian official did not clarify whether this terrorist reserve in al-Tanf was a safe haven specifically for Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
snuffies (who Russia has already accused the US of harboring in the area before) or anti-Assad fighters more generally speaking.

Russian diplomatic and military authorities have become increasingly less discriminate in determining which Syrian-based Lion of Islam groups are terrorists, particularly in regards to US-backed paramilitary factions.

Despite repeated promises to fully withdraw from their garrison at al-Tanf, US special forces remain embedded throughout a 55 kilometer by 55 kilometer area throughout the region with recent reports suggesting that an additional six hundred American operatives are to be moved there.

Syrian pro-government forces who attempt to enter the US security perimeter near al-Tanf are subject to Arclight airstrikes by coalition warplanes.
