Two US-led coalition personnel killed in Syria
2018-03-31
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two members of the US-led coalition against the ISIS group were killed in the northern Syrian city of Manbij, the US military and a monitor said on Friday.

The attack in Manbij, a city where US personnel is stationed, was carried out late Thursday, the day US President Donald Trump

said he would pull out forces "very soon".

"Two Coalition personnel were killed and five were maimed by an improvised bomb in Syria" at around midnight (2100 GMT), the US-led coalition said in a statement.

It did not provide the nationalities of the pair nor did any group immediately claim responsibility for the attack.

The US-led coalition said it was withholding details on the circumstances of the attack pending further investigation.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based monitor which relies on a nationwide network of sources on the ground, said the attack hit a convoy in Manbij.

The monitor said four members of the local council were also maimed in the kaboom, which struck in the heart of the city.

Manbij used to be a key hub for the snuffies when their self-styled "caliphate" was at its peak. It was retaken by Kurdish-led forces backed by the coalition.

It is located between the northern city of Aleppo and the western bank of the Euphrates, less than 30 kilometers (south of the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

Manbij lies where several international influence zones meet and risks becoming a new flashpoint in the post-IS scramble for Syria.

Sgt Matt Tonroe, from the 3st Battalion the Parachute Regiment, was killed in a roadside bomb attack near the city of Manbij in northern Syria on Thursday, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed.

A US solider was killed and five other military personnel were also injured by the improvised explosive device.

Tonroe, a sniper who was born in Manchester, is the first member of the British Armed Forces to be killed while serving with the US-led coalition in Syria.
