The BBC has obtained exclusive pictures showing for the first time British special forces operating on the ground in Syria.
A New Syrian Army's spokesman refused to comment on the pictures of the special forces, but acknowledged their help.

He said: "We are receiving special forces training from our British and American partners. We're also getting weapons and equipment from the Pentagon as well as complete air support."

A British engineer working with the bomb disposal unit in Iraq’s Anbar province died on Tuesday while defusing a bomb left from fighting between the Islamic State (ISIS) and Iraqi armed forces.

“While defusing a bomb in the Malaab area in southern Ramadi that detonated at 7 am, a British national was killed and another person was wounded,” Ramadi Mayor Ibrahim Osaj told Rudaw by phone.
