Iraq says coalition forces committed crime in targeting sites

DUBAI (Reuters) – International coalition forces in Iraq committed a “heinous crime” by targeting security sites, Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rasool said in a statement on Wednesday.

Rasool called the attacks a serious violation of the coalition’s mission and mandate. The United States on Tuesday carried out a strike in Iraq in what U.S. officials described as self defence.
