Four Islamic State (IS) fighters are dead and one has been captured after attempting a suicide attack this week aimed at the largest prison camp holding IS detainees in northeast Syria.
Seven IS jihadists packed into two explosives-laden cars were passing through the village of Um Fakik, some 12 miles northeast of al-Hol, after midnight on Tuesday when one of the vehicles detonated prematurely, the US military said in a statement today.
