US-Led Coalition Says 2 Personnel Killed, 5 Wounded in Bomb Blast in Syria

World

MOSCOW – Two personnel of the US-led coalition were killed and five were wounded by an improvised explosive device in Syria on March 29, the coalition said on Friday.

“Two Coalition personnel were killed and five were wounded by an improvised explosive device in Syria at approximately 9 p.m. GMT March 29. Wounded personnel received immediate care and are being evacuated for further medical treatment. The names of the deceased will be released at the discretion of the pertinent national authorities. Details pertaining to the incident are being withheld pending further investigation,” the coalition said in a statement, according to Sputnik.

 Later, two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity and citing initial information, said one of the two killed in the blast on Thursday was an American and the incident took place near the city of Manbij in northern Syria. They declined to comment on the nationality of the other individual, SANA reported.

The US-led coalition of more than 70 members is conducting military operations in Syria and Iraq. The coalition’s strikes in Iraq are conducted in cooperation with Iraqi officials, but those in Syria are not authorized by the Syrian government or the United Nations Security Council.

Since August 2014, Washington has created the so called “international coalition” allegedly tasked with combating terrorism in Syria.
