US-led coalition airstrikes killed 45 civilians in Iraq and Syria

REUTERS/Alaa Al-MarjaniBAGHDAD (AP) — Investigations conducted during the month of March reveal that U.S.-led coalition airstrikes targeting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria killed 45 civilians, mostly in and around the Iraqi city of Mosul, according to a Pentagon statement released Sunday. In each incident, the Pentagon said "all feasible precautions were taken," but the strikes still resulted in "unintentional" loss of civilian life. The report did not include findings from an ongoing investigation into a March 17 strike targeting Islamic State group fighters in Mosul.
