Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Rantburg Exclusive: Attack on US Advisers May Have Included Russian Contractors

2018-02-10

Not yet confirmed but a sly way of Russia attacking US Forces without actually using their military. Someone here the other day's post of the attack suggested this was a probe by Russia.

JUST IN: Russian contractors may have been involved in pro-regime attack on US military advisers and their partner forces in Syria that led to US counterattack with aircraft and artillery in east of Euphrates. No US wounded.

#3 Since the Aghan Shia mercenaries are Iranian "contractors", participation by Iranian advisors is a certainty.

#2 I personally asked a Benghazi survivor if he thought Russian contractors were involved in the attack on the annex. He said "no, it was all Ansar al Sharia."

He was there, obviously I was not. I wish I could believe him.
