Syria: 8 Killed in Bombing in Tel Abyad
---------------------------------------

In Syria, at least eight people were killed in a bombing in the
northeastern city of Tel Abyad. No one has claimed responsibility so
far. Turkish troops seized the city from Syrian Kurdish fighters last
month, following President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. military
support for the Kurds, clearing the way for the Turkish offensive.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is planning to visit President
Trump at the White House on Wednesday - the same day televised
impeachment hearings begin investigating whether President Trump
withheld military aid from Ukraine in order to pressure the Ukrainian
president to investigate Trump's political rival Joe Biden and his son.
The first two witnesses will be William Taylor, the top American
diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, a senior State Department
official.
