The War Of Words Intensify Between The U.S. And Russia Over Syria

VOA: US General: 'Russians Are Responsible' for Attack on Syria Aid Convoy

CAPITOL HILL — America’s top military officer said Russia bears ultimate responsibility for an airstrike on a U.N. humanitarian convoy in Syria, and that he does not favor sharing military intelligence with Moscow in the Syrian conflict.

“Two Russian aircraft were in that area at that time [when the convoy was attacked],” said General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testifying Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“I can’t conclusively say it was the Russians, but it was either the Russians or the regime [of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad],” Dunford said, adding that, either way, “the Russians are responsible” for Monday's deadly attack near Aleppo that destroyed 18 trucks. Syria and Russia have denied any role in the attack.
