The decision raises the risk of the US military coming into direct conflict with the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The decision follows discussions between the United States and Turkey on creating a so-called safe zone along the Turkish-Syrian border. They're planning on sending the militants they've trained into the zone as well as into other areas in northern Syria. The US says it has already been carrying out airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against the ISIL(ISIS) terrorists. But the attacks have repeatedly caused damage to these countries’ infrastructure and targeted army forces and civilians there.
