The United States military tried to cover up a deadly attack on Syrian civilians who killed as many as 80 people, stating that women And children they could have been terrorist fighters, according to an NYT investigation.
On March 18, 2019, an American F-15E fighter dropped a bomb on “A great crowd of women And children curled up against a river bank” Near the city of Baghuz and then proceeded to drop several more, killing survivors, according to a New York Times relationship published on On Saturday.
The attack it also reportedly shocked the United States military officers, who watched the incident unfold live through a drone camera and he wondered if it could be considered a war crime. However, the bombing was soon covered up from military and an investigation never took place, the report stated.
“Almost every step, the military made moves who hid the catastrophic strike “, the alleged relationship, arguing that “the death the budget has been minimized “, reports were “Delayed, sanitized and classified”, the site of the explosion was demolished, e “the top leaders were not informed”, in an effort to keep what happened firmly hidden.
The US central command admitted that the attack killed 80 people – of of which only 16 were alleged terrorists of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS / ISIL) – after being approached for comment from the newspaper, and the Central Command bizarrely tried to justify the rest of the deaths claiming that the women And children I could also they were terrorists.
According to the report, after the central command identified 16 suspected fighters and 4 civilians killed in the strike said it is “it was not clear” that the other 60 victims were civilians, “in part why women And children in the Islamic State sometimes took up arm.”
The strike would be one of the Pentagon’s worst civilian casualty events in Syria, if 64 civilian deaths were officially recognized, but the Times also admitted that civilian deaths in US strikes are often “Also underestimated in classified reports “ – suggesting that the true number of the victims could be even higher.
With the memories still fresh of an attack by US drones in Kabul which killed a humanitarian worker and seven children – but not a single ISIS terrorist – also first unveiled by the NYT, the new the revelation shocked readers in in the United States e in around the world, who called for action over what many called a war crime.
The United States must leave Syria as soon as possible. Our military presence there makes us LESS sure! “Almost everyone step, the military made moves which hid the catastrophic strike. The death the toll has been minimized. Relationships have been delayed, sanitized and classified. “https://t.co/eCjxblUXie

“How do you go in turn to defense like you do not do it know for sure those children weren’t ISIS fighters? “ questioned reporter Caitlin Johnstone, while Center for civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) director Daniel Mahanty tweeted, “This is to say the least of criminal conspiracy. They demolished the strike site and manipulated the logs. Who stands for jail for this?”
The United States killed 70 civilians in a strike in Syria. It has been internally marked as a possible war crime. Rather than of investigating, the military bury it. More troubling, it seems like US forces were systematically bypassing targets requirements. Horrible. https://t.co/WnI8GJMxJa
