Russian jets mistakenly bomb US-backed forces in Syria…Read full details

Russian warplanes bombed US-backed fighters in several small villages in northern Syria after they mistakenly thought Islamic State forces were in the area, a US general said Wednesday.

Army Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend said Russian and Syrian regime aircraft attacked the villages to the south and east of Al-Bab in Aleppo province on Tuesday, resulting in an unspecified number of casualties.

The Russians apparently had observed IS fighters moving from the area and wrongly assumed that incoming forces were jihadists.

“We had some Russian aircraft and regime aircraft bomb some villages that I believe they thought were held by ISIS, yet … actually on the ground were some of our Syrian Arab Coalition forces,” Townsend told reporters in a video call from Baghdad.

The SAC forms part of a broader alliance called the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) comprising Kurdish and other groups that the United States has been training and advising to lead the anti-IS fight.

The US troops, less than five kilometers (three miles) from the villages, observed the bombing and communicated the error, which was then passed to the Russians through a “deconfliction” hotline the two powers have established to avoid mishaps.

“It became apparent that the strikes were falling on some of the Syrian coalition positions,” Townsend said.

“Some quick calls were made to our deconfliction channels and the Russians acknowledged and stopped bombing there.”

The Russian defense ministry denied conducting air strikes but confirmed communication through the hotline.

“During these talks, the US Air Force representative expressed concern that Syrian and Russian airplanes could inflict an unintentioned strike on US-controlled armed groups while carrying out combat missions against (IS) south of Manbij,” the ministry said in a statement.

“This information was taken into account by the Russian command. Not one strike was carried out by Syrian or Russian aviation on the districts pointed out by the American side.”​

About 500 US troops are in Syria, almost all of them special operations commandos. Their role is currently limited to advising local forces and staying behind front lines.

– Tangled lines of conflict –

Hardly straightforward to begin with, the anti-IS fight in civil war-torn Syria is growing ever more complex.

Russia is using air power to prop up the regime of President Bashar al-Assad but also sometimes strikes IS.

Turkey has moved into northern Syria and is battling IS while also trying to keep US-backed Kurdish forces in check.

And America is trying to support the Kurds while not alienating ally Turkey.

“It’s a very complicated battlefield situation where essentially three armies and an enemy force have all converged within the same grid square,” Townsend said.

“Everybody should keep their sights focused on ISIS … and not fighting deliberately or accidentally one another.”

Anti-IS operations in Syria will eventually center on Raqa, the supposed capital of the “caliphate” that IS declared in 2014.

Given the political sensitivities, questions abound on the extent to which Kurdish forces would be involved in the offensive and whether they would enter the city.

Townsend said he expects the Kurds to take part in the Raqa “in one form or fashion.”

“The facts are there are Kurds from Raqa and larger Raqa district and province. So there are Kurds from there, local Kurds who will participate.”

Separately, Townsend said between 12,000 and 15,000 Islamic State fighters remain in Iraq and Syria, an indication of a significant dwindling of the jihadists’ forces.

The US military only provides periodic updates on estimates of IS fighters but in 2015 and 2016, the Pentagon put the number at between 20,000 and 30,000 in the two countries.

GM moving more than 600 jobs from Canada to Mexico: union

http://ift.tt/2jnBDtF

General Motors is shifting 625 jobs from a plant in Canada that makes popular crossover utility vehicles to Mexico, the Canadian auto workers union said Friday.

The cuts represent one-fifth of the facility’s workforce and comes less than a year after GM expanded the Canadian plant, with part of a Can$560 million (US$426 million) investment in its overall Canadian operations.

The layoffs at the plant in Ingersoll, Ontario — which produces the Equinox and Terrain models — are a “betrayal” that show “why NAFTA is a terrible deal for Canadian jobs,” Unifor said in a statement on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

“It is another example of how good jobs are being shifted out of Canada for cheaper labor in Mexico,” Unifor president Jerry Dias said.

The announcement is “a shining example of everything wrong with NAFTA, it must be renegotiated,” he added. “It is imperative that we have trade rules that help ensure good jobs in Canada.”

GM spokesman Mathew Palmer told AFP in an email the cuts “are strictly related to the end of the older generation Equinox production” at the Ingersoll plant, and have nothing to do with moving Terrain production to Mexico, which had already been announced.

The new Equinox model is to start production at the Ingersoll plant in July.

NAFTA has linked Canada, the United States and Mexico since 1994.

US President Donald Trump has vowed to renegotiate the trade pact, threatening to impose stiff import duties on foreign-made cars sold in the United States.

Auto makers responded with goodwill overtures, playing up their efforts to create jobs and invest in the United States.

Asked for a comment, Canadian Economic Development Minister Havdeep Bains said through a spokesman that the government “is concerned about the impact of job losses on workers and their families and our thoughts go out to those affected.”

But, he added, “We remain optimistic about the strength and future of Canada’s automotive industry.”
