Corporate-run media silent on US war crimes, and the American role in creating the migrant crisis in Syria and Iraq: Civilian deaths claimed in 71 US-led airstrikes in Syria and Iraq | 03 Sept 2015 | The US-led coalition's bombing of Islamic State [I-CIA-SIS] in Iraq and Syria, which has been described as the “most precise ever”, faces allegations that civilians have been killed in 71 separate air raids. A spokesman for US central command (Centcom) disclosed the claims to the Guardian. Many of the claims have been dismissed, but he said 10 incidents were the subject of fuller, formal investigations. Five investigations have been concluded, although only one has been published. To date, the coalition acknowledges civilian deaths in a single strike: in November 2014 a US strike on Syria killed two children, a Centcom investigation published in May found. Centcom said it will only publish investigations where a “preponderance of evidence” suggests civilians have died.
