Content:
1. Eyewitness Testimony (Personal Account from Ali Jasim):
I was present at the scene at approximately 09:00 AM and witnessed the strike. I can confirm with high certainty that the aircraft involved was a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), specifically identifying it as either an MQ-9 Reaper or an MQ-1 Predator.“a targeted strike using a precision-guided munition against one individual”
After the initial strike, the drone continued to hover directly over my father’s body. It appeared to be maneuvering for a "double-tap" or a second strike, but eventually departed without firing again. My father was lying alone on the ground; there were no other individuals or targets in the immediate vicinity.
2. Legal Identification & Civil Status (The "Golden Square" Dossier):
Attached is a file containing the four primary Iraqi identification documents (National ID, Residence Card, Nationality Certificate, and Civil Status ID).
Note on Medical Reports: In our local context, we do not have a separate clinical medical report; however, the attached official Death Certificate clearly states the cause of death as "Explosion" (Infitjar), which is the primary legal proof of the incident.
3. Official Governmental & Security Documentation:
I have provided a separate file containing formal administrative and legal papers, including:
An official Administrative Order signed by the Governor of Nineveh, Najm al-Jubouri, recognizing my father as a victim of the airstrike.
Official correspondence from the Municipality Directorate (his former workplace) and security clearances.
The Police Station Report, which includes the site map and formal witness testimonies.
4. CENTCOM Records vs. Reality (Strike Analysis):
I have attached a record from CENTCOM’s strike logs for the same date (June 29, 2016). It mentions: "Near Mosul, four strikes struck four separate ISIL tactical units..."
Our Analysis: While the log mentions "Near Mosul," it does not specify or deny the strike in Hamam Al-Alil (which is geographically part of the "Near Mosul" sector). This lack of detail in their reporting is where we need to focus our assessment, as the timing and general location match our incident perfectly.
Important Contextual Notes:
Local Identity: My father was widely known in the community as "Jasim al-Bashiri" (Al-Bashiri). While this name is not in the official documents, it is his well-known social name in the region.
Family Loyalty: Our family is a victim of terrorism as well. My brother was a member of the Nineveh Police and was killed in action while fighting ISIS.
I can provide his official documents if needed to further prove our non-combatant status.
Location: The strike took place at the following coordinates:

Social Media/OSINT: Please note that at the time of the incident, we were under ISIS occupation. There was a total blackout of TV, internet, and mobile communication. This explains the lack of immediate local social media reporting from within the area.
TO RESPECT THE PRIVACY OF THE VICTIM AND HIS FAMILY, THIS DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN REFERENCED IN THE ASSESSMENT BUT NOT MADE PUBLIC.
