In Manbij, Syria, U.S. officials would walk through the market and eat at restaurants. Then on Jan. 16, a suicide bomber killed four Americans and at least 12 others, and a place once seen by many as a safe haven became anything but.CreditCreditDelil Souleiman/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images

BEIRUT — For American troops posted in the dusty flatlands of northern Syria, the Palace of the Princes restaurant in Manbij offered a pleasant place to stop for grilled chicken, French fries or its locally renowned shawarma sandwich.

The Americans liked the food so much that they dropped in frequently, often many times a week, residents said. Visiting officials were welcomed to red booths and water pipes; two American senators dined there in July. . .
