* British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, gather information from sources in Syria
* They say missile set grain silo ablaze in ISIS town of Manbij, northern Syria
* Claim two civilians killed including 'workers who provide food for people'
* IS fighters 'also died in a strike on a building on the town's outskirts'
* US says there is 'no evidence' any civilians were killed in the strike
* Group count at least 19 civilians killed so far in coalition airstrikes
* US-led coalition has been targeting ISIS-controlled towns in Syria since last week
At least two civilian workers were killed after missiles launched in a US airstrike targeting an ISIS-controlled region in Syria struck grain silos, according to a human rights group.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights believes aircraft may have mistaken the mills and grain storage areas in the northern Syrian town of Manbij for an Islamic State base.
The US-led coalition has been targeting towns and villages in northern and eastern Syria controlled by the Islamic State group since last week.

Blood of innocents on Obama’s hands—Impeach now!!
Well that grain silo won’t be beheading anyone in the future....so that’s sorta a win?
Hmmm, grain / terrorist...
It’s so damned hard to tell the two apart at times. /s
Ah, he's using the old "gluten for punishment" trick.
Oooooohhhhh.
I’m waiting for the outrage from the leftist media and politicians...... waiting....
If you want to claim ISIS civilian casualties, shouldn't you have to go to ISIS and look for yourself? But they might behead you? You think they might behead you but would never lie to you?

ISIS Fighter Calls US Air Strikes Totally Ineffective

In an exclusive interview with CNN, a Syrian fighter with the group known as the Islamic State or ISIS said they were prepared for US airstrikes within Syria and the damage done against the organization was ineffective.
A Syrian ISIS fighter operating under the pseudonym Abu Tahla told CNN through Skype that the US and coalition airstrikes within Syria were expected.
“We’ve been ready for this for some time,” Abu Talha said. “We know that our bases are known because they’re tracking us with radars and satellites, so we had backup locations.”
The ISIS headquarters that were targeted were emptied out, and ISIS fighters moved their supplies into civilian neighborhoods or buried them underground before the airstrikes came, the fighter said.
Abu Tahla taunted the interviewers about recent US strikes against ISIS oil refineries, noting that ISIS had other avenues of income besides oil sales. Abu Tahla also said that even if the US managed to push ISIS back in Iraq, it managed to advance in Syria.
Concerningly, Abu Tahla’s remarks are echoed by the situation on the ground. Despite airstrikes, ISIS has advanced almost completely to the Turkish border in northern Syria. Only the Kurdish city of Kobane remains defiant to ISIS aggression, although the Kurds defending the city are thoroughly outgunned by the recent jihadist advance.
