MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An Australian air strike on Iraq in 2017 "may have" killed up to 18 civilians, the Australian government confirmed late on Thursday, following a year-long investigation. Australia is part of the U.S.-led coalition fighting against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Two Australian Super Hornets dropped bombs on a building and courtyard after Iraqi security forces had called for help to strike a neighbourhood in west Mosul where Islamic State fighters had set up positions, the Defence Department said.
