Scores of Sunni Muslim Arabs Killed in Iraq by NATO and Sectarian Government Air Strikes

January 21, 2016 

Editor's Note:

The following English news stories are from the Iraqi government news agency, Iraq News, which claims that the NATO and Iraqi government air strikes kill only the Islamic State fighters, when in fact the victims are Sunni Muslim Arabs in Iraq and Syria. These victims have been subjected to the killing and to the destruction of their cities, in order to force them out of their territories, and millions of them left their homes already.

The Arabic news stories (below the English news stories) are from yeqen.net, the pro-Sunni Muslim Arab Iraqi victims, which tries to show the atrocities of the Iraqi government forces and the brutality of the NATO air strikes on the Sunni Muslim Arab cities, using the excuse of attacking ISIS.
