March 26 (UPI) — Iraq’s military claims explosives rigged by the Islamic State — rather than airstrikes — killed civilians at a home in Mosul earlier this month.
On Sunday, the military said in a statement that experts checked a house “reportedly targeted by an airstrike and they found out that the house was completely destroyed and there was no sign that it was destroyed by a strike.”
The Iraqi statement, obtained by the BBC, said investigators found “a huge detonated booby-trapped vehicle” near the house.
