US accused of killing civilians

SYRIA accused the US yesterday of slaughtering 14 civilians in army-held Deir Ezzor.

National TV reported the US-led coalition had launched an air raid on the eastern city on the Euphrates river — where the four-year siege by al-Qaida and Isis was lifted last month.

But the US’s Inherent Resolve coalition spokesman Colonel Ryan Dillon denied the accusation and claimed it had not bombed the city.
