Amnesty report on Mosul battle is deeply irresponsible, says British commander

Pressed on the claims, Gen Jones said the report is "deeply irresponsible and frankly naive".

Claims the US-led coalition and Iraqi forces violated international humanitarian law in the battle to recapture Mosul from Islamic State are "deeply irresponsible", a senior British commander has said.

Major General Rupert Jones, the deputy commander of the international anti-IS coalition, has slammed the report published by Amnesty International on Tuesday as "disrespectful" to the Iraqi government.
