Beirut
(AFP) - The US-led coalition admitted it may have hit a Syrian army

The
strikes came with diplomatic tensions escalating between Moscow and
Washington less than a week into a fragile ceasefire aimed at stopping
the bloodshed in Syria's five-year civil war.
American officials said the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State (IS) group may have hit Syrian military positions.
"Coalition
forces believed they were striking a Daesh fighting position," a
Pentagon statement said, using an Arabic acronym for the IS group.
