I know the neighborhood perfectly, it’s next to my parents’ house, it’s a residential area… Next to the site of the strikes, there are a few shops, a school and a park for children, but no site military”, she assured.
Amnesty International verified the footage immediately after the attacks. The organization comes to the same conclusion. According to Cecile Coudriouthe president of Amnesty International France, eight bombs were dropped on a residential area, “It’s an area where there was absolutely no military target”she confirms.
