Syria: Warring sides trade blame for air strike that killed three

THREE Turkish troops were killed and 10 injured in northern Syria yesterday in an attack Ankara blamed on the Syrian air force, a claim which is disputed by Syrian activists who say that Isis was responsible for the blast.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency reported that the attack took place near the Isis-held town of al-Bab.

But Isis claimed it carried out a suicide attack on Turkish troops near al-Bab on Wednesday, calling the Turkish account into question.
