202 Iraqis Killed in US-Led Coalition Air Strikes and Bombardment Targeting Islamic State Cities
May 21, 2016
Editor's Note:
The US-led coalition which fights the Islamic State in northern Iraq consists of US-led NATO forces, Iraqi Shi'i government forces, Iranian-backed Shi'i militias, and Kurdish peshmerga forces. The coalition's continuous attacks have resulted in the killing of thousands of Iraqi Sunni Muslim Arabs and the eviction of thousands as a result of the destruction of their cities and villages.
Millions of Iraqi Sunni Muslim Arabs are expected to leave their cities and villages as the fighting intensifies towards an all-attack by the US-led coalition on Mosul. The end outcome is going to be evicting Sunni Muslim Arabs from the upper Euphrates region of northwestern Iraq and northeastern Syria.
The following news stories from the official US and Iraqi websites do not mention any civilian casualties, as all reported deaths are for ISIS members, who were killed in air strikes and bombardment on cities!
