Airstrikes in Atimah

Overview

On 8 March 2015, three bombs landed near the Turkey-Syria border, between the town of Atimah, Syria and a nearby internally displaced persons (IDP) camp, where more than thirty thousand civilians were sheltered. No military force claimed responsibility for the attack. Forensic Architecture (FA) and Airwars together determined it was likely to be a US strike on al-Qaeda militants who operated in the area. -FA
