Pentagon Says Strike Killed 2 Dozen in Syria, But Groups Say Death Toll Much Higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon has acknowledged killing two dozen civilians in a U.S.
airstrike in Syria in July-although some organizations say the death
toll was considerably higher. The strike hit a village near Manbij in
northern Syria. The group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says as
many as 200 civilians died in Manbij during a series of U.S. airstrikes
in July.
