US-led Coalition Strikes Syrian Army instead of ’ISIS’: Several Dead, Injured

S-led coalition warplanes are reported to have killed four Syrian soldiers in the Dier al Zor province, which is mostly under the control of “ISIS”. 
A Syrian government source confirmed that the airstrike had taken place and that there had been casualties. The source also added that vehicles had been destroyed.


A total of four Syrian Army soldiers have been killed, while a further 16 were injured, a government source told RIA Novosti.


“The airstrike hit an ammunition dump belonging to the Syrian Army in Dier al Zor. According to our information, four soldiers have died and 16 were injured. Two tanks were also damaged. This was the work of the US-led coalition,” the government source added.


The so-called Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said an air raid “by the international coalition” hit the camp in the west of Deir Ezzor province, “around two kilometers one mile from an area controlled by “ISIS”.

Indeed. I wonder if this was an "accident". No doubt that will be the claim. If the US are targetting Assad's army, Putin won't like that at all.

Messier and messier as anyone with any sense could see was going to happen, but they all followed Cameron, even though they knew he was lying through his back teeth.

Anyway, must go and feed me fella bless him.

Let's not let the Yanks off the hook - they're the ones leading this mess, and they've made no secret of their dislike of Assad.

War is hell when you are in it yourself.

These things happen, you can only hope you are not a victim/casualty.

the yanks have a perculiar knack at "blur on blue" strikes

Indeed. British forces have been on the end of a number examples of blue on blue strikes.

And the number of terrorist shootings, stabbings, bombings by aggreived British people against the US because of these attacks?

I mean surely by the reasoning of some on here, this should be inevitable that this would happen?

Bombing, States and Peoples in Western Europe 1940-1945
The Bombing of France 1939 - 1945

Bombing in World War 2 claimed between 50,000 and 60,000 French civilian lives. Almost all died at the hands of the Allies, not the Germans. The death toll, though no more than an eighth of that in Germany, was still numerically comparable to that of British civilian victims of German bombing and V-weapons, or to that of Jews deported from France and exterminated in the camps. The Channel port of Le Havre alone is estimated to have lost some 5,000 dead.1 Material destruction, too, left a lasting legacy on French towns. Of France 's 38,000 municipalities, 1,838 were officially declared war-damaged, or sinistrées, in 1946 – a designation requiring damage or destruction to at least 30 per cent of buildings. They included 20 out of France 's 27 largest cities. Some 18 per cent of all French buildings were listed as destroyed or seriously damaged. Largely untold in the literature in English, this story has received fairly scant coverage in French as well.
