Coalition raids kill 21 civilians in IS stronghold in Syria
[Al Ahram] Air strikes by the US-led coalition killed at least 21 civilians in and around a stronghold of the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group in northern Syria on Monday, a monitor said. At least 15 non-combatants were killed in raids in a northern district of Manbij while six others were killed in a village near the city, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The holy warrior bastion has faced a more than month-long US-backed offensive by Kurdish and Arab fighters that has caused thousands of civilians to flee. Posted by: Fred 2016-07-19 |
