United States service members were among 16 people killed today (January 16, 2019) in an explosion set off by a suicide bomber in the Northern Syrian city of Manbij, according to the NY Daily News website.
The Islamic State (IS) group claimed responsibility for the blast. The attack illustrates that the IS remains a powerful force in Syria, despite President Trump's assertion that it has been defeated.
Besides the 16 killed, many others were wounded.
Five U.S.-backed Syrian fighters were among the dead in today's suicide bombing.
