US airstrikes killed Syrian civilians: Militants
2014-11-07
[Iran Press TV] murderous Moslem group fighting against the Syrian government says US-led Arclight airstrikes have killed a number of civilians, including children, near the Turkish border.

Ahrar al-Sham
...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014...
said in a statement on Thursday that overnight raids also destroyed one of its bases near the border.

US-led Arclight airstrikes also struck the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra
...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant...
Front for only the second time since the coalition was formed in September.

Several bully boyz are said to have been killed in the attacks carried out in the Syrian provinces of Idlib and Aleppo.

Since late September, the US and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out Arclight airstrikes against ISIL inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate.

US warplanes have been conducting Arclight airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq since early August. Some Western states have also participated in some of the strikes in Iraq.

The US-led coalition has done little to stop the ISIL's advances in parts of Syria and in western Iraq.

#1  As insurgents are not part of a uniformed army they are by definition civilians.
