Syria military takes control of flash-point Kurdish-led town
Syria's military says it has taken control the flash-point Kurdish-held town of Manbij, where Turkey has threatened offensive.
The announcement Friday came shortly after the main Syrian Kurdish militia invited the government to seize control of Manbij to prevent an attack. The development signals the two sides have agreed to the new arrangement. It's not clear what happens to the US troops who patrolled the town and tense front line between Manbij and adjacent towns where Turkey-backed fighters were based.
