Biden said the US will continue its commitment to the fight against terrorism and will hold those responsible to account at a time and in a way Washington chooses.
Following the UAV attack on a US barracks Sunday morning, the group "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" announced it had used UAVs to attack US troops at 3 locations in Syria, including 2 bases near the border junction of Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, but it is unclear whether the group was referring to the attack that killed the three US soldiers.
