– 52 CIVILIANS KILLED BY U.S-LED AIRSTRIKE
Airstrikes carried out against a northern Syrian village by USA.-led coalition forces killed 52 civilians on Friday 05/01/2015, according to Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Among those dead were seven children, the activist group said.
The air strike occurred as Syrian opposition fighters and Kurdish fighters were in combat with I.S.I.S [Daesh} militants in Aleppo province near Kibani. “Not a single [Daesh] fighter” was killed in the airstrikes on the village, Abdulrahman, who runs the Syrian Observatory, told AFP.
Koubani, on the Turkish Border, was the epicenter of bitter fightings between Kurdish “Pashmerga” militia and ISIS three months ago. ISIS was repelled due to massive US-led coalition airstrikes for few weeks .
