US airstrike on Aleppo mosque kills many worshippers

‘At least 42 Syrian civilians have lost their lives when US warplanes bombed a mosque full of worshipers overnight in a village west of Aleppo.
More than 100 people were also wounded in the air raid on the village of al-Jineh, just over 30 km west of Aleppo, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.
The head of the London-based observatory Rami Abdel Rahman said the raids targeted the mosque during evening prayers.
The US military confirmed that it had carried out a deadly airstrike in northern Syria and would investigate reports that civilians were killed when a mosque was struck in the raid.
The observatory said many people were still trapped under the collapsed mosque as rescue workers struggled to pull survivors from rubble, and dozens of residents were still unaccounted for.’
