US-run Coalition may have committed war crimes in Syria

MojNews-The UN commission of inquiry on Syria released a 21-page report Wednesday saying acts of U.S.-led coalition might amount to war crimes.  

According to the report, the air raids by the U.S.-led coalition did not, or failed to, take enough measures to distinguish civilians from the military targets. 

"Launching indiscriminate attacks that result in death or injury to civilians amounts to a war crime in cases in which such attacks are conducted recklessly," said the report. 

The Syrian Democratic Forces ( SDF ), backed by the U.S., held large-scale operations in Syria which "had led to the near-complete destruction of towns and villages," according to the report. 

Turkey views SDF as part of YPG , which is the Syrian offshoot of PKK terror group which has killed over 40,000 people including infants, children and women in its decades-long terror campaign.
