Speaking about the 2015 Hawija bombing, Ank Bijleveld denied Dutch officers had accepted civilian casualties with the remark "We always calculate them. The Americans do that differently".[2]. She stated to the Dutch House of Commons that they could not "differentiate between IS and civilians in multiple instances that were under investigation by the Public Prosecution Service" in a letter to Dutch Parliament the 4th of November 2019, and blamed "wrong US intelligence and software" telling Dutch officers "no civilians lived in the neighborhood[3][4]"
