The Pentagon has for days rejected the notion that a mosque was hit and that there were civilian casualties -- even as numerous social media reports showed images of bodies being taken out of the rubble. The military's assessment hasn't changed, but the investigation will attempt to establish more definitively exactly what happened. "We do not currently assess there were any civilian casualties," Pentagon spokesman Capt. "As always, you know, we take extraordinary measures to mitigate the loss of civilian life in our operations." Davis showed a photo of the still-standing mosque and a larger building a short distance away.
