According to the report, Syria’s interior ministry said Sunday that the gunman who killed three Americans in the central Palmyra region the previous day was a member of the security forces who was set to be fired for extremism.
The report also stated that two US troops and a civilian interpreter were killed in what the Syrian government described as a terrorist attack on Saturday, while Washington said it had been carried out by an Islamic State group (IS) militant who was subsequently killed.
The report also said that Syrian authorities had decided to fire the perpetrator from the security forces before the attack for holding extremist Islamist ideas and had planned to do so on Sunday, interior ministry spokesman Noureddine al-Baba told state television.
In addition to the report, a Syrian security official told AFP on Sunday that 11 members of the general security forces were arrested and brought in for questioning after the attack. It said that the gunman had belonged to the security forces for more than 10 months and was posted to several cities before being transferred to Palmyra.
