US admits accidentally killing 105 civilians in Mosul in March, as 35 more reported dead in new strike

A US military investigation on Thursday acknowledged that more than 100 civilians were killed in a US air strike on a building in the Iraqi city of Mosul in March during operations against Islamic State militants.
The admission came as a monitor group said a further 35 civilians were killed on Thursday in US-led coalition air strikes in an eastern Syrian town held by the Islamic State group.
