Business Insider: Drones are dropping bombs on US troops in Syria, and it's not clear who's doing it

* US soldiers in Syria have been attacked by drones carrying explosives, the Marine Corps general in charge of US Central Command confirmed on Tuesday.
* While the general said the attacks are not as numerous as reports indicate, the threat of drone attacks is one of the most worrying.

Drones are dropping explosives on US soldiers in Syria, and it's not clear who's behind the attacks, the head of US Central Command, which is responsible for the region, told lawmakers on Tuesday.

National Public Radio reporter Tom Bowman first reported the attacks on Friday, observing them as he joined a patrol by US soldiers tasked with protecting oil fields in northeast Syria.

"It was a multiday attack on two of the oil fields, the first one since the US mission began last fall to protect the oil fields," Bowman said on All Things Considered. "There were soldiers from the West Virginia National Guard at one of the fields. And early Wednesday morning, a drone carrying a mortar dropped it near where they were sleeping. No one was injured, and the soldiers quickly drove off the base."

WNU Editor: A lot of Russian soldiers in Syria have been injured from these attacks. But in this case my money is on an ISIS unit being responsible for these attacks. I am just surprised that no one is laying claim to these attacks on social media.
