US may have mistakenly targeted an aid worker rather than Daesh-K fighters in its final strike in Afghanistan, says The New York Times after analysing security camera footage
Afghan journalists take photos of a destroyed vehicle inside a house after a US drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan, August 29, 2021.
But Kabul resident Aimal Ahmadi earlier said that the strike killed 10 civilians including his small daughter, nephews, nieces and his brother Ezmarai Ahmadi, who was driving the car that was struck after he parked., analysing security camera footage, said the US military may have been seeing the slain Ahmadi and a colleague loading canisters of water, which was in short supply after the collapse of the Western-backed government, and picking up a laptop for his boss.
US officials say that a larger blast took place after the drone strike, showing that there were explosives in the vehicle.investigation said there was no evidence of a second explosion, with only one dent on a nearby gate and no clear signs of an additional blast such as blown-out walls. Commenting on the report, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that US Central Command "continues to assess" the strike but that "no other military works harder than we do to prevent civilian casualties."
