[Regnum] Syrian security services have detained five suspects in the attack on the American-Syrian military group in Palmyra. This was reported on December 14 by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Syrian transitional government.

The Interior Ministry's statement clarified that the operation was conducted in full coordination with the Main Intelligence Directorate and international coalition forces, based on accurate intelligence. As a result, five suspects were detained, and an investigation is underway.

It was previously reported that the US Air Force deployed combat aircraft and flare bombs following an attack by ISIS militants on a Syrian-American patrol in Palmyra. Furthermore, US forces, with the support of Syrian government forces, arrested at least three people.

It is noted that the arrests and bombing were carried out as a show of force.

US President Donald Trump has promised a tough response to ISIS militants following the death of American service members in a terrorist attack in Syria.

Three US service members were wounded in a shelling near Palmyra in the Syrian province of Homs. Traffic on the international highway from Deir ez-Zor to Damascus was temporarily suspended. Syrian troop reinforcements are being deployed to the region, and military aircraft have been spotted overhead. The Pentagon later announced the deaths of the US service members. The names of the deceased and their unit details will be released within 24 hours after next of kin are notified.
