US EditionTwo U.S. Soldiers, American Civilian Interpreter Killed in Attack in Syria
- On Saturday, two U.S. Army soldiers and one U.S. civilian interpreter were killed near Palmyra in central Syria, the Department of Defense said.
- As part of counter-ISIS operations, U.S. troops were on a joint field tour with Syrian forces in Palmyra when fire broke out, Pentagon officials said.
- CENTCOM said the ambush was carried out by a lone ISIS gunman who was engaged and killed, and helicopters evacuated three other wounded U.S. service members to the al-Tanf garrison.
- The Department of Defense opened an investigation and will withhold identities until 24 hours after next of kin notifications; U.S. leaders blamed ISIS and pledged retaliation.
- Syrian state news agency SANA and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attacker was Syrian security, while U.S. officials blamed ISIS; the strike follows Damascus joining the coalition last month and the UN's estimate of 5,000 to 7,000 IS fighters.
