The raid was the latest evidence that IS, despite holding just a pocket of territory in its one-time stronghold, retains the capacity to wage deadly guerrilla attacks on areas thought to be relatively safe. The jihadists opened fire on a media centre run by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in Al-Meshleb, the easternmost neighbourhood of Raqa and the first area taken from IS in June.

Trump economic adviser worth $266m thinks a car costs $1000It appears that Donald Trump's chief economic adviser Gary Cohn does not know how much the average family pays for a car or home improvement project.
