Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S113)
Damascus Centre for Human Rights Studies named Bassam Abd Al Kareem Al Sai’id as a civilian victim of alleged Coalition bombing on Talbissa, Homs.
A second source naming him also as Abu Khaled, says he was from Talbissa, Homs but killed in Raqqa as a result of coalition bombing.
In its monthly civilian casualty assessment for October 2019 – published on December 5th of that year – the US-led Coalition assessed this event to be ‘non credible’, noting: “August 14, 2015, in Talbisah, Syria, via Airwars report. After a review of all available records it was assessed that no Coalition actions were conducted in the geographical area that corresponds to the report of civilian casualties. 2821/CS114 37SBU908579”.
The Coalition also provided coordinates showing the area it had assessed, accurate to within 100 metres.
