US-led coalition clashes with Syria regime loyalists

The US-led coalition against the Islamic State group said its forces in northeast Syria confronted gunmen with live fire after one of its patrols came under attack on Wednesday. "Coalition forces, conducting a patrol near Qamishli, Syria, encountered a checkpoint occupied by pro-Syrian regime forces," coalition spokesman Myles Caggins said. An AFP correspondent saw a US flag flying above an armoured vehicle as it left the village.
