ANKARA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th January, 2019) A total of 27 people, including five US soldiers, were killed in the terrorist attack in Syria's Manbij, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday.

"According to my information, five US servicemen were killed in the terrorist attack, which claimed 27 lives.

The attack was organized by the IS [Islamic State, banned in Russia] group. Perhaps they want this event to influence the decision of [US President Donald] Trump to withdraw troops from Syria. This may influence. However, if this happens, it will be a victory of the IS," Erdogan told reporters.
