Iraq: Attack in West Mosul Kills More Than 20 Civilians
-------------------------------------------------------

In Iraq, the journalistic monitoring group Airwars reports more than 20
civilians were killed-most of them women and children-after airstrikes
or artillery attacks struck their homes in western Mosul. Among those
reportedly killed were resident Hussein Abbas and 11 members of a single
family. Most sources blamed U.S.-backed Iraqi forces for the deaths.
