"US Troops Sustain Traumatic Brain Injuries in Iran-Backed Syria Attacks"

Six American service members suffered traumatic brain injuries in separate attacks by Iranian-backed militants in Syria last week. The Pentagon initially said that seven Americans were injured in the attacks and that a U.S. contractor was killed. The diagnoses followed two attacks. The United States has more than 900 troops, and hundreds more contractors, in Syria, working with Kurdish fighters to prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State.
