Still "no conclusive evidence" IS used mustard gas in Iraq - Pentagon

(Reopens) WASHINGTON -- In Syria, Turkish and coalition forces have cleared five additional villages along Syria's northern border with Turkey.
Furthermore, post-liberation stabilization efforts in Manbij are in effect as the coalition oversees humanitarian aid delivery and an explosives clean-up training operation.
Over 200 metric tonnes of food is being delivered to around 2,400 families throughout Manbij which will last up to 60 days, he said.
These efforts also include coalition-provided training for the removal of mines and explosives left by IS, which has enabled the reopening of a hospital, school and homes in the city. (end) sd.gb
