Syria says US did not take its warning of possible Islamic State attack seriously
DAMASCUS, Syria — Syria’s Interior Ministry says that it had warned the US-led coalition of a possible breach by Islamic State (IS) fighters, following a deadly attack on American troops in Palmyra.
“There were prior warnings from the internal security command to allied forces in the desert region,” ministry spokesman Anwar al-Baba says in an interview on state television.
“The international coalition forces did not take the Syrian warnings of a possible IS infiltration into consideration,” he adds.
