Syria dam is not damaged
BEIRUT -- The Tabqa Euphrates dam is not damaged or malfunctioning and engineers inspected its operations fully, said Jihan Sheikh Ahmed, spokeswoman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces' campaign to capture Raqqa from ISIS.
The SDF is fighting to capture the dam, about 40 km upstream of Raqqa, from the jihadist group, which said on Sunday that it was at risk of collapse, causing the US-backed militia to pause its assault to give access to engineers.
