A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Possible civilian casualties in coalition strike near Mosul hospital | 29 Dec 2016 | An airstrike against Islamic State near Mosul, a major city in northern Iraq, may have resulted in civilian casualties, the Pentagon has said. Aircraft from the US-led international coalition “struck a van carrying ISIL fighters observed firing a SPG9/RPG recoilless rifle before loading the weapon in the van and driving off,” said the headquarters of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). The airstrike happened on Thursday, December 29, as operations to liberate Mosul resumed. The incident “will be fully investigated and the findings released in a timely and transparent manner,” OIR said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
