The United States freely admitted it committed a war crime
yet there has been little outcry.
US Central Command (Centcom) said it launched a “precision
strike” on a building within the al-Salem hospital complex from which Isis
fighters had for more than a day launched “heavy” machine gun and
rocket-propelled grenade fire on Iraqi forces. The coalition did not say if any
patients or civilians were present at the scene of the airstrike on the
“building on the hospital complex” nor did it answer a question about any
noncombatants being killed or wounded.
Human rights groups have warned that the increase in attacks
on hospitals threatens to deal a durable blow to the recognized concept of
sanctuaries in war.
