FILE - In this July 26, 2017 file photo, Syrians look at a U.S. armored vehicle convoy on a road that leads to Raqqa, northeast Syria. Amnesty International, in a report Tuesday, June 5, 2018, accused the U.S. and its allies of showing little regard for civilians' lives while attacking the Syrian city that was once the self-styled capital of the Islamic State group. The report said that the U.S.-led coalition's 2017 assault on Raqqa killed hundreds of civilians and reduced sections of the city to rubble. A coalition spokesman calls the allegations "absurd and grossly inaccurate."
