US soldiers have been killed in an apparent suicide bombing in northern Syria claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group, the US military has said.

IS said a militant had detonated an explosive vest next to a US patrol in the Kurdish-held town of Manbij.

Two US soldiers, a civilian employee at the defence department and a contractor died, US Central Command said. Another three US soldiers were wounded.

US forces are in Manbij to back Kurdish and Arab forces.

IS fighters have been driven out of almost all of eastern Syria.

Wednesday's attack took place at a restaurant near Manbij's main market.

The US troops were at the restaurant to meet members of the Manbij Military Council, a witness told.

CCTV footage from a nearby shop shows a large fireball engulfing several people standing on the street outside.

The US soldiers were subsequently evacuated by a helicopter that landed on a playground.

It cited the head of Manbij's health committee as saying that 18 people had been killed, including the US soldiers, and that another 18 had been wounded.

US Central Command later confirmed that four Americans were killed.

"Two US service members, one department of defence (DoD) civilian and one contractor supporting DoD were killed and three service members were injured while conducting a local engagement in Manbij," it said in a statement.

Not necessarily, after all, they are being promised unlimited p*ssy for all eternity.

Other 'heavenly' perks too, but, you know, mostly it's the 'p*ssy'.

Wow that one person had some serious backdraft or frontflow going on with that blast. Did she fall from the impact or shrapnel or just the waves of fire that engulfed her?

I would also like to know why the person fell down. I know the answer would seem obvious but I would like to know the mechanics. Full of shrapnel? In shock? The person doesn’t appear to be on fire. Just wondered why exactly they fell from a standing position after the blast.
