US-led strikes kill more than 170 Raqqa
[Ynet] More than 170 civilians have been killed by US-led strikes on 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.... in Raqqa city in the past week, a spike in casualties since an offensive to oust the murderous Moslems began more than two months ago, a war monitor and sources said. The US-led coalition against Islamic State said attacks on Death Eater targets were conducted routinely and the allegation had been sent to their teams for assessment. The monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 42 people, including 19 children and 12 women, were killed on Monday in strikes that destroyed buildings where families were sheltering. The Britannia-based Observatory said that was the single largest daily corpse count since the US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), a group of Kurdish and Arab militias, began their assault on Raqqa last June after a long campaign to isolate Islamic State inside the city.
