REPORTS OF CIVILIAN CASUALTIES ARE CASTING DOUBT ABOUT THE US-LED STRIKES IN SYRIA

Winchester, VA – ABC News is reporting that Human Rights Watch released a report yesterday which reveals that at least 84 civilians, 30 of them children, were killed in US-led airstrikes in March. Representatives of the organization visited the school in Mansourah and the market in Tabqa where the strikes occurred and spoke with the survivors, local residents, and relatives of those who perished in them. The end-goal of these strikes was the re-taking of the Syrian city of Raqqa from ISIS terrorists. Nadim Houry, director of Human Rights Watch’s terrorism and counter-terrorism program told ABC News, “What stayed with me was that the coalition on one hand had these powerful tools from the sky, yet, on the ground there is not enough attention to the well-being of the people. No one had come to try to help them dig out their loved ones from under the rubble.” Press TV News is reporting that just today at least nine civilians, including two women and a six-member Iraqi family who had escaped Mosul, were killed in US-led coalition bombing in the northeastern province of Hasakah. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Saturday that over 2,800 civilians have been killed in US-led airstrikes over the last three years.
