Airstrikes kill 32 Isis fighters in Raqqa, activists say

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/06/airstrikes-kill-32-isis-fighters-in-raqqa-activists-say This article is mainly about the casualties that have happened because of the repeated Airstrikes by both Britain, US, and Russia, the article seems to focus on the amount of people who died and who they were, but are also focusing on who was responsible, this lines with the Guardian's left wing view, which would perhaps focus on the individual people affected, and who caused it. This article has context and importance with the constant saga of ISIS and how western countries are attempting to root them out. The guardian also brings focus on what Activists have pointed out that in particular, the US, are doing wrong by performing these airstrikes, not cooperating with Syria. The article ends with giving the presumed amount of Civilian deaths, which is a figure most people would be looking for in the article, so they read the whole thing, and it was also at the end to probably keep that figure in their minds. I think that this article is interesting because it instead does not focus on the ISIS attacking us or other nearby countries, but instead is about us attacking them, and it brings up some ethical issues and problems with what we are doing, which not many articles would normally focus on because it wouldn't interest some people.
