Reuters: Suicide bomber rams U.S.-backed forces at Syria checkpoint
BEIRUT (Reuters) - A suicide bomber drove his car into a checkpoint in northeastern Syria on Monday, injuring several soldiers of Kurdish-led forces during a joint convoy with U.S. allies, locals said.
The attack happened on the western edge of Shadadi town in Hasaka province near a route frequented by the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State, residents and sources said.
In a tweet, the coalition said a convoy with allied Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) was involved in an attack, but there were no American casualties.

Turkey is that you?
Turkey, Iran, Russia or a combination. This is a reminder to the USA, 2000 US troops isn’t enough to secure 1/3 of Syria but is enough to pick off a few here or there. Trump was right in December and still is.
Russia doesn't want the U.S to leave, why would they? U.S is doing their job for them, while they get to keep their bases. Turkey however, dislikes the Kurds. That's why I lay the blame on them. Iran could but, they are very busy in Yemen / Syria. Attack on U.S troops is not in their current interests.
right to leave? or right to say we leave but not fully leave?
Trump is always right except when he is wrong
2000 US troops isn’t enough to secure 1/3 of Syria is enough to keep ISIS furtively scurrying in dark alleys and wielding a small fraction of the power that they had in 2014.
It is a tenuous position for ISIS. They are subject to checkpoint drones and ambushes if they move. If they stay pat, they are subject to cordon operations. It is why we are catching people coming home to Europe and Canada after murdering people in Syria. It isn't fun anymore for them . They are getting more crap than they dish out. So they are not getting their second and 3rd generation recruits from Europe any more.
Soon they will be down to one leader and one follower
what then will be our policy?
That is a somewhat valid point. They are not going to wipe out the Kurds or the Sunni Arab Muslims.
They could however make a noticeable change in the demographics.
