My Way News - US sending new special ops force to fight Islamic State
My Way News reports: "The U.S. will deploy a new special operations force to the Middle East
to help fight Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, Defense
Secretary Ash Carter said Tuesday.
Carter told the House Armed Services Committee that over time, these
special operators will be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather
intelligence and capture Islamic State leaders. [...] There currently are about 3,500 U.S. troops in Iraq, and President Barack Obama had previously announced he was sending fewer than 50 special operations forces to Syria."
