US-led air strike in north Iraq allegedly kills dozens, including civilians

BAGHDAD - An air strike by a US-led coalition flattened an entire neighborhood of a northern Iraqi town controlled by Islamic State militants, killing dozens of people including civilians, witnesses and security sources said.
The strike targeted an Islamic State bomb-making factory in Hawija overnight on Tuesday, triggering a series of secondary explosions that reduced the surrounding area in the industrial district to rubble.
Residents and security sources put the number of people killed at around 70.
