U.S.-led air strikes hit grain silos and other targets in Islamic State-controlled territory in northern and eastern Syria overnight, killing civilians and wounding militants, a group monitoring the war said on Monday.
The aircraft may have mistaken the mills and grain storage areas in the northern Syrian town of Manbij for an Islamic State base, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. There was no immediate comment from Washington.
The United States has targeted Islamic State and other fighters in Syria since last week with the help of Arab allies, and in Iraq since last month. It aims to damage and destroy the bases, forces and supply lines of the al Qaeda offshoot which has captured large areas of both countries.
The strikes in Manbij appeared to have killed only civilians, not fighters, said Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory which gathers information from sources in Syria.

Need a million man march in major cities around the world...Obama is monster!/s
apparently Obama’s peeps areS personally picking the targets - as he boasted
and they have so much military experience....
said Rami Abdulrahman, just another green helmet guy I would imagine.
Q: What do you call a dead militant?
A: A civilian.
Same attitude as Obama telling Putin to mind his own business when we were given intelligence by Russia...more than once...regarding the Boston bombers.
I am highly suspicious about these so called accidents.
I think our regime is trying to damage Assad.
the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights could just as well be the equivelent of our PETA in that ... everything with a hint of US on it makes us the bad guys
Everything about this "report" as well as many others are chock full of may haves and reported to be's
All you Syrian Milk Factory and Aspiring Factory workers, be afraid... be VERY afraid.
Obola will kill anyone (vets, too) before hurting
his “children” in IS
(whom he therefore misnames to protect).
Aspiring = Aspirin!
I think our regime is trying to damage Assad.
I think the liar in chief is actually trying to START a war with Putin. What better way to destroy this country and control US citizens than if we are at war?
I vote for ios autocorrect as the worst technological development in history.
Guess all the reset stuff was just a PR scheme. Looks like Barry not only is stirring the ME into an al out regional war but he’s also restarting the Cold War in a hot way. In the end this goof could wind up getting the US into a 2 front (or more) war. Im sure the Chinese are watch w/ great anticipation.
If those were Israeli raids, the UN would have already set up a Panel of Inquiry and condemned the attacks as “Genocide”...
or, rather than the usual mosques and hospitals, the silos were ammo dumps
Having a Nobel Piece Prize makes one immune from such things as Inquiry Panels and Genocide condemnation.
Islamic State base? IS? ISIS? ISIL? Whoa, Barry…why the JV? What about the Khorasan…you know…the real threat…the guys you’ve been tracking? Did you get ‘em all? It’s comforting to know Barry Obomba is representing US not IS.

The idea that the CIA underestimated is ridiculous. When Iraq asked for help.....months ago....Obama said No....and said it again....and then again.
