At a time of growing concern about civilian casualties in Iraq, the US-led coalition issued a report Saturday that says at least 229 civilians likely have been killed by coalition strikes there and in Syria since Operation Inherent Resolve began nearly three years ago.
The number could grow significantly if an investigation into airstrikes on a neighborhood in Mosul, Iraq, in mid-March finds the operation unintentionally killed scores of residents.
The head of Iraqi civil forces working at the Mosul site told CNN earlier this week that 141 bodies have been recovered.
This is very scary. I strongly agree with one of the statements in this piece "'The key thing that we do emphasize to them is we ... go to war with our values. We hold ourselves to a higher accountability, a higher standard with respect this."
