According to a comprehensive report from China News Service, November 30, U.S. media previously broke the news that the U.S. military launched an air strike in Baghz, Syria in 2019, resulting in the death of a large number of civilians.

But the US military was accused of deliberately covering up the incident.

In this regard, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense said that the Pentagon will investigate the air strike.

　　According to reports, the investigation will be led by U.S. Army Command Commander Michael X. Garrett, whose task is to determine whether the attack complies with the laws of war and whether anyone should be held accountable.

Pentagon spokesman Kirby also told reporters on November 29 that the results of the investigation will be announced within 90 days.

　　Earlier, the "New York Times" reported in a report entitled "How the United States Covered an Air Strike That Massacred Syrian Civilians" that on March 18, 2019, the US military launched an air strike in Baghz, Syria, resulting in many deaths.

Some people in the US military believe that this action may have violated "war crimes."

　　Reports pointed out that the Baghz airstrike was one of the biggest civilian casualties in the war against the "Islamic State", but the US military has never publicly acknowledged it before.

The military tried to cover up this catastrophic air strike at almost every step after the incident.

The death toll is underestimated.

The report was delayed, whitewashed, and classified as confidential.

The coalition forces headed by the United States levelled the explosion site with bulldozers and did not inform the senior leaders.

　　The Independent Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense once launched an investigation, but the report containing the results of the investigation was shelved and there was no mention of air strikes.

The assessor of the Office of the Inspector General who participated in the case said: "The leadership seems to be bent on covering up this matter."

　　It wasn't until about two weeks before the investigation was announced that the Pentagon publicly acknowledged the details of the attack on Bagoz for the first time.

After the "New York Times" sent the results of the investigation to the US Central Command, which was responsible for overseeing the Syrian air war, the command admitted for the first time the airstrike, saying that 80 people were killed, but the airstrike was "legal."

The command also stated that the bomb killed 16 soldiers and four civilians.

As for the other 60 people, the statement stated that "it is not clear whether they are civilians."

Foreign media said that the US military opened fire at the airport and killed people.

　　The "Washington Post" stated that the Pentagon's investigation is the second investigation of military airstrikes that has attracted much attention in recent times.

On August 29, 2021, during the withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan, it claimed to use drones to carry out air strikes against many terrorists in Kabul.

However, many foreign media later pointed out that all 10 people killed in the bombing were civilians, including 7 children.

　　On September 17, the commander of the U.S. Central Command Mackenzie admitted that neither the car attacked by the U.S. military at the time nor the victims were likely to be related to the extremist organization "Islamic State-Khorasan", and said that "our investigation has now concluded. In conclusion, this attack was a tragic mistake."
