A bomb attack claimed by Islamic State has killed US troops in northern Syria, weeks after President Donald Trump said he would pull out all American forces.

A US official who declined to be named said four US troops had been killed and three wounded in Wednesday's blast. Others said only two had been killed.

An Islamic State-affiliated website said the explosion was the work of a suicide bomber.
