Pentagon Files Reveal Flaws in US Claims about Syrian Casualties in 2019 Baghdadi Raid
News - Middle East: A new investigation has revealed flaws in the US military’s claim that the 2019 deadly airstrikes on the hideout of the former Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi did not leave civilian casualties.
The US-based media organization NPR reported that it has obtained confidential documents that provide new details about the raid, saying that US helicopter fire did actually “kill and maim” Syrian civilians during the raid.
The secret documents were released after NPR sued the Pentagon under the Freedom of Information Act to release documentation of the airstrikes.
NPR obtained a redacted copy of the Defense Department's confidential 2020 report on the incident, saying the report was originally classified as secret with no foreign distribution.
