US delegation visits Syrian Kurdish town amid deal with Turkey
[IsraelTimes] Syrian Kurdish officials say a US delegation is visiting the strategic town of Manbij, days after a delicate US-The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 deal that is expected to see an American-backed Kurdish militia pull out of the area.

The head of the Manbij Military Council, who goes by the name Mohammed Abu Adel, says the delegation assured him there will be no Ottoman Turkish troops inside Manbij.

Abu Adel says joint US-Ottoman Turkish patrols will only take place along already-delineated front lines between the strategic town and other Ottoman Turkish-controlled areas to the west. He says the local military council will remain in charge of the town and Washington is keeping them informed of details of the deal.

The commander of the anti-IS US coalition, Maj. General James Jarrard, and veteran Middle East diplomat William Roebuck are part of the delegation.
