The US-led coalition fighting "Islamic State" (ISIS) group terrorists in Iraq and Syria conducted an airstrike in the Iraqi city of Mosul that destroyed the former Turkish consulate, an official said Tuesday, according to AFP.
Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said Monday's strike was carried out with the full cooperation of the Turkish government.
"ISIL repurposed the compound and used it as a headquarters for senior ISIL leaders, in addition to a bed-down location and weapons storage facility," he said, using an acronym for ISIS.
