WNU Editor: From the AP .... U.S. changes rules of engagement for Mosul fight in Iraq (Military Times/AP). In short .... U.S. and western coalition forces are now embedded on the front-lines, and when contact with the enemy is made .... calling in air strikes to eliminate the enemy are expedited.
On a side note .... critics on the U.S. led bombing campaign are raising concerns .... US-led coalition is 'killing more civilians than Russia' (The Telegraph).
