US expands northern Syria airfield for huge cargo plane

The United States has expanded a runway at a northern Syria air base to accommodate the large C-17 military plane needed to help with logistics for the push to retake the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, a U.S. defense official said Tuesday.


The huge military air freighter will play an essential role in supplying the Syrian Democratic Forces as they mount an offensive to retake the city, ISIS's last big stronghold in Syria.
