Report: U.S.-Led Airstrikes Killed 459 Iraqi & Syrian Civilians 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
A report by the independent monitoring group Airwars estimates that
U.S.-led airstrikes targeting ISIL in Iraq and Syria have killed at
least 459 civilians since the bombings began about a year ago. The
U.S.-led coalition has launched nearly 6,000 airstrikes in the two
countries. Thus far, the U.S. has acknowledged its airstrikes have
killed only two civilians.
