Report: Syria Soldier, Not ISIS, Responsible for Attack That Killed Three Americans

An attack in Syria that killed two American soldiers and an interpreter in an ambush attack. While US officials initially claimed a lone ISIS gunman was responsible, a Syrian official said that a former member of the country’s security forces carried out the attack. 

On Saturday, three Americans were killed and three wounded near Palmyra, Syria. Department of War Spokesman Sean Parnell said the attack occurred near Palmyra and the “mission was in support of on-going counter-ISIS / counter-terrorism operations in the region.”

That was later disputed. . .
