ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Up to 27 bystander civilians may have been killed by Canadian airstrikes in the north of Iraq, Canadian media outlets quoting US military officials are reporting.
The CBC claimed that it has obtained a Pentagon document that raised questions about the quality of the investigation conducted by coalition forces into an allegation that 27 civilians lost their lives because of an airstrike carried out by Canadian CF-18 fighter jets at a key highway near Mosul in late January 2015.
