EXCERPT:

KARADSHEH: “John, we’re getting two different versions of events. According to Syrian activists, a monitoring group and rescue workers in northern Syria, they say it happened Thursday evening, there was an air strike, they say that the air strike hit a mosque in this small town in that part of the country. They say that 40 to 50 worshippers mostly were killed in that air strike. The U.S. Military says it did carry out an air strike in that part of the country but they say that the target of that air strike was a building where there was a gathering by Al Qaeda militants and that they killed several terrorists in this air strike. According to one U.S. Military official, they say that there was a mosque that’s about 40 to 50 feet away from the site of the strike. And they say according to satellite imagery after the air strike, that that mosque was still standing. Now, CENTCOM says it is looking into these allegations of civilian casualties. This at the same time, John, that we're hearing from activists on the ground who are insisting that it was a mosque that was hit and the majority of the casualties are civilian worshippers.”
