Our assessment right now is it is an isis affiliated group the u. S. Says is responsible for the deaths of four american servicemen and. Matheson this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up killing spree the Group Carries out a Revenge Campaign in a syrian town slaughtering more than a hundred civilians plus. We have to continue the fight against the taleban and against others in order for them to understand they will never be the battle will go on the u. S. Has to stay the course against the taliban in afghanistan also. Greening of the also contend the insult canceled at a palestinian Film Festival well tell you why. The u. S. Is top general says he believes a group linked to isolate is behind the ambush which killed four soldiers in a news briefing john donne fode the chairman of the china stuff bereaved relatives to be patient as a Senate Investigation determines how the man died. It is an isis affiliated group and i think what you bring up is what were dealing with in many places is isis and al qaida. In this case they try to leverage local insurgencies. And connect those local insurgencies globally this is the challenge that were dealing with and so our initial assessment is these are local tribal fighters that are associated with isis dunford says the u. S. Will maintain its military presence in the despite the deaths and at the same time theres more fallout over Donald Trumps condolence call to the widow of one of the Fallen Soldiers but he said johnson says she was im good at what she says were insensitive words from the u. S. President when he said the president yes the president. He knew what he sounded up for but he hers anyway. It made me cry because i was very angry at the way the tone of his voice and how he said he couldnt remember my husband they only way he remember my husband name because he told me he had my husband reporting for me and thats when he actually thing led dated. Her or him. On one channel or me when i heard many. And that was hurting me the most because if my husband is out here fly into our country and he risked his life for our country why cant you remember his name. He is the founder of mabel a Consulting Firm on security economic and political issues in this hell region hes joining us live now from washington d. C. Thanks very much for your time why do you think this particular group might have decided to carry out this attack at this point. I dont think it did they had a specific time to choose when to attack but i think when an opportunity comes they will they were on strike and i think its still unclear if they knew that u. S. Forces were present in that area when they conducted the attack or not remains to be seen so the this is they have been conducted previous attacks against Nigerian Forces and also on the mahdi and. Forces on the other side of the border as well as invoking afonso so its still still we still have to wait and see if i actually knew that the u. S. Forces were present there and if they are actually responsible for the answered and not the Al Qaeda Affiliated militant group the u. S. Says that as a result of this is going to step up its actions in the region what do you think it means by that i think what do you mean by that is to to increase their support to local and Regional Forces and this is sadly engage in in fights and try to hunt down the militant groups. So i think they were going to maintain their policy to provide just supports or rather than engage in combat and fight in operations do you think that they were likely to see more opportunistic attacks like this one as i saw is pressured in both syria and iraq and in other parts. Not just from what i saw affiliated groups of other groups we have seen incidents in the area that taken place not only in remote areas but also against soft targets and the capitals in what i do book enough are so bomb a comb ali and will the militant groups will try to find an opportunity to strike maybe in the air so the threats to remain is there and whenever the opportunity is there they will try to undermine the local and Regional Forces in addition to to western forces like the u. S. And french operating in the region and just very briefly what do you think the risk is to the civilians in the area these targets are not necessarily always going to be focused on military forces are they. Youre right and thats why its very important to go in forward if the u. S. Is going to engage further in the area they have to be really careful on how the they work with not only local forces but also with local communities to gain door support because we have seen these groups while they are very good at building strong ties with local communities but they are also not afraid to carry exact assassinations against the local individuals and also armed groups who are supporting local and regional and Foreign Forces in the area and we have seen this many times especially in mali where u. S. And French Forces are present good to get your thoughts on this read of the morning thank you very much indeed. U. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson has made an unannounced visit to iraq to hold talks with Prime Minister that allow body the meeting follows heightened tension between the two countries about the role of the Popular Mobilization forces in iraq tell us and has called for the iranian backed militias to be sent home a body has defended their role there saying they helped to defeat its been a busy day for tell us in which began with a separate trip to afghanistan i think ohayon has more.

Seventeen a quick and rabbit descent and he landed at begum airfield there to meet the leaders of afghanistan a short visit just about an hour and fifteen minutes and he told the traveling press he was confident in the trump administrations plan for afghanistan over the long term clearly we have to continue the fight against the taliban and against others in order for them to understand they will never win a military victory and there are we believe moderate voices among the taleban voices that do not want to continue to fight forever they dont want their children to fight so we are looking to engage with those voices and have them a gauge in a reconciliation process leading to Peace Process and therefore involvement and participation in the government. But this would not be his only trip to a country grappling with conflict in one day traveling to afghanistan and then in the evening iraq i think all differences can be addressed and the rights of all can be respected and iraq will have a very secure that across the future we have a an opportunity to share in an important event in saudi arabia the creation of a Coronation Council we think this is an important milestone in restoring relationships between iraq and the gulf the g.
