    Iraqi officials said Wednesday that they had removed nearly 300 bodies from the site of an apparent airstrike in west Mosul, the largest civilian death toll since the battle against Islamic State began more than two years ago and among the deadliest incidents in decades of modern warfare.

    More bodies were being removed Wednesday as the U.S.-led coalition investigated whether it was responsible, Iraqi officials blamed Islamic State, and the injured continued to suffer.

    The attack came after government officials urged residents at the start of the Oct. 17 offensive to stay in their homes. Responsibility for the deaths has been disputed, as has the number killed.

    Just Great. "Loyal Citizens stay in your homes and Be Safe" Meanwhile anyone dies (from whatever circumstance) from the US led coalition. Can you imagine if that situation happened here? We should never have been there in the first place. Sometimes you wish our government was replaced by the Swiss government. For example, the Swiss know how to produce a positive culture without interfering in foreign government and their armed tactics.
