Turkey Threatens to Attack Syrian Town Held by U.S. Troops
(Military.com) Richard Sisk - Turkish President Erdogan said Monday that his forces would press on with attacks against Manbij and several other northeastern Syrian towns held by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, after his troops captured the border town of Afrin. Pentagon spokesman Col. Rob Manning said that U.S. troops are in Manbij and would not leave the city or abandon support for the SDF. Monitoring groups charged that hundreds of civilians were killed and tens of thousands of refugees fled in the taking of Afrin.
