Ham apologised ...
Mr. Ham, the US commander in Mosul, gave his apologies on behalf of the Coalition Forces in the region stressing that the incident was not planned in advance and that a student house came under fire by mistake.
General Ham also expressed his gratitude towards the Kurdish forces who the General praised for not letting the incident escalate and restored control rapidly.
He stressed that there are certain groups who want to create divisions between the Irbil (Hawler) people and the coalition forces.
Good move.
