The president of NBC News says a driver working with its reporters in Syria was killed by an explosive device.
U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces fighters fly their flag from a rooftop overlooking Baghouz, Syria, after the SDF declared the area free of Islamic State militants after months of fighting on Saturday, March 23, 2019. The elimination of the last Islamic State stronghold in Baghouz brings to a close a grueling final battle that stretched across several weeks and saw thousands of people flee the territory and surrender in desperation, and hundreds killed.
“We are still gathering information from today’s events, and are in touch with the driver’s family to support them however we can,” he said. IS left behind booby-traps and explosive devices, and there may be unexploded munitions in the area following U.S.-led airstrikes.
