The bombing comes a month after President Trump announced a rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria
BEIRUTIslamic State claimed responsibility for a bomb blast Wednesday in a Syrian city under U.S.-backed Kurdish control that killed at least three American troops, according to U.S. officials, underscoring the threat the extremist group still poses as the Trump administration prepares to withdraw troops from the country.
Local media and the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that allied fighters with the Syrian Democratic Forces and a number of civilians were also among the dead and injured in the attack in the northeastern city of Manbij.

Tragic to lose the troops today but staying there just ensures more will die -and for what? To continue the farce Obama started?
Bullshit they should all be gone already.what waste.
We apparently dont have generals who know how to carpet bomb.
They have ‘carpet burns’....................
This is what happens when we counter man the President’s orders. I lay this squarely on NEO CON john Bolton. GET THE HELL OUT OF There. Why were we there? GET OUT!! I promise you that this is arranged to keep us there. It must expedite our immediate exit!!
I re4serched it and found only 3 kia of our men in Syria prior to this. We must get out NOW!!b quit piddling around and get out!!
Pull our troops out and nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
Absolutely! The US shouldn’t be there in the first place. Why are we risking our good people to fight for or against various Muslim sects? The threat to the US is Islam here. Let these savages kill each other in their own countries. Trump should get rid of Bolton and Pompeo ASAP, before they get us into more futile, perpetual fights.
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”
I thought ISIS was defeated, anyway, I’ve heard there are a few suspects besides ISIS but ISIS it probably is.
Kill em All and let Allah sort em out.
No, 2 US servicemen were previously killed in this same area when someone put a bomb into their APC.
Nope this is a Turkish operation. Certain ISIS cells have pledged allegiance to Turkey.
Free Kurdistan!
I have to ask why we didn’t do that in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Those three heroes were the best we have. RIP young men. Prayers for your families and friends.
Wrong CIC........................
They have carpet burns....................
