A new study published in the journal PLOS Medicine found that 373 of 505 reported civilian deaths resulting from intentional violence were attributable to the U.S.-led coalition, while just 22 were attributable to the infamous terror group.
A new United Nations report suggests that a large number of civilians, 1 in 4, were killed by the United States-led coalition’s airstrikes during the Battle of Mosul.
According to a new report published by the United Nations, airstrikes launched by the U.S.-led coalition led to the death of 1 in 4 civilians during the operation to ‘liberate’ the city from the Islamic State group.

A new report from human rights group Amnesty International today is harshly critical of the tactics used by Iraq forces and their allies (i.e. the US) in the invasion and occupation of the ISIS-held city of Mosul, saying they
