«Breaking News» Three of four Americans killed in Syria have been identified

Three of the four Americans killed in a suicide bomb blast in Syria have been identified. 

Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jonathan R. Farmer, 37, of Boynton Beach, Florida, Navy Chief Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) Shannon M. Kent, 35, of upstate New York and Defense Department civilian Scott A. Wirtz of St. Louis, Missouri were all killed in the explosion.

The fourth American, an interpreter working for the Defense Department, has not yet been named, Fox News reports.

Wednesday's suicide bombing, claimed by the Islamic State group, was the deadliest to hit US troops since they deployed to Syria in 2014.

Nineteen people were killed in the attack on the grill house in the central market of the flashpoint northern town of Manbij.

Run by a Washington-backed town council since the US-led coalition and its ground partners pushed out jihadists in 2016, Manbij has been a realm of relative quiet.

The town was considered sufficiently secure that a group of top US military commanders and lawmakers strolled through the same market place without body armor during a tour of the area last summer.

But the US military presence in the town has been thrown into question after Donald Trump's shock announcement last month that he would pull all American troops from Syria, claiming the IS had been 'largely defeated'.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime Trump supporter who was among this summer's visitors, has been one of the most vocal critics of the president's decision and was in Ankara for talks with top officials on Friday.

Next to the blast site, Abu Abdel Rahman lifted an armful of red teddy bears out of his storefront display, carefully avoiding the shattered glass. His shop was hit by the blast.

'I was at the door of my shop and saw a fireball come out of the restaurant. Then, there were body parts on the ground,' he told AFP, a red keffiyeh headscarf wrapped around his face to help fend off the cold winter air.

The attack came as tensions between Washington's Syrian Kurdish ground partner and its NATO ally Turkey flare.

Ankara views the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as a 'terrorist offshoot' of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a deadly insurgency for self-rule in southeastern Turkey since 1984.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened an all-out offensive to clear the group from its border.

At the town's entrance, security checkpoints manned by forces of the US-backed Manbij Military Council meticulously check vehicles and the IDs of people entering and exiting the town.

After sweeping across swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014, the jihadists' cross-border 'caliphate' has been erased by multiple offensives and is now confined to a tiny embattled enclave in eastern Syria close to the Iraqi border.

But despite the stinging defeats, ISIS has proved it is still capable of carrying out deadly attacks using hideouts in the sprawling desert or sleeper cells in the towns.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
