Kurds Pelt U.S. Troops With Potatoes As The Pull Out Of Northern Syria

Daily Mail: 'Betrayed' Kurds pelt US troops with POTATOES as they pull out of northern Syria and Turkey's President Erdogan warns he'll start wiping out 'terrorists' tomorrow after Trump's ceasefire ends

* Cameraman filmed more than 100 vehicles crossing the northeast tip of Syria
* Turkish President Erdogan has agreed to pause his offensive for five days
* Turkey said the truce will expire on Tuesday if Kurds don't move from 'safe zone'
* Around 1,000 troops are crossing into Iraq to continue campaign against ISIS
* Erdogan said that the West was 'standing by terrorists' for supporting Kurds

This is the moment Kurds hurled potatoes and abuse at a withdrawing convoy of US troops as they passed through a Syrian city on their way to Iraq.

Footage shows armored vehicles passing through the city of Qamishli and residents shouting 'No America' and 'America liar,' in English. The clip then shows the residents throwing potatoes at the convoy.

'Like rats, America is running away,' one man shouted in Arabic, according to a translation of the clip.

Another man shouted obscenities and talked of babies in Kurdish-held areas who have died in the Turkish offensive.
