New details tonight on the raid by U.S.
troops in western Iraq targeting ISIS militants.
Seven Americans were injured.
Officials say 15 ISIS members were killed.
AB CS James Longman joins us now from London.
James, Mary Seven U.S.
troops have been injured in an early morning raid in
western Iraq on what officials are calling key ISIS leaders.
Now, Five of these troops were injured in the operation
itself, two of them in falls and one had to
be evacuated from the region.
We're told this was a joint operation with international coalition
fighting.
ISIS air strikes struck the area before U.S.
special forces swooped in.
They were met by militants with suicide belts and grenades.
15 of them were killed.
U.S.
troops stationed both in Syria and Iraq have become increasingly
vulnerable to attacks, not just from ISIS, but by Iranian
backed militia in the region and its US support for
Israel in its war in Gaza, which is fuelling those
attacks.
OK, James.
Thank you.
