The US claim that the ISIS leader was killed in a drone strike in Kabul turned out to be false. The head of US Central Command has apologized for the civilian casualties in the drone strike.The head of Central Command, General Mackenzie, said in a video message that the drone strike in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on August 29 last month was a tragic mistake. The August 29 drone strike killed civilians, not terrorists.
According to US Central Command, this was a mistake. We apologize to the victim’s family. It should be noted that the United States had claimed that it had avenged the attack on Kabul Airport from ISIS. The drone strike killed 10 people, including aid workers. The dead included seven children.
In a briefing to reporters, General Kenneth McKenzie also said that those killed were not affiliated with ISIS Khurasan. We will try to learn from this serious mistake.
According to the New York Times, the aid worker killed in the attack worked for US forces before the US withdrawal and, like other Afghans, wanted to flee Afghanistan.
It was observed after footage of the drone strike surfaced by the New York Times and provided clear evidence that the attack targeted civilians, not ISIS terrorists.
The New York Times identified the faces in the footage and found that the white sedan in the car was not an ISIS leader but a rescue worker, Zemari Ahmadi. The New York Times demanded that the Pentagon investigate the footage and those involved in the attack.
The U.S. Department of Defense said in a statement after the attack that a U.S. drone strike on Sunday, August 29, blew up a vehicle carrying “several suicide bombers” linked to the Islamic State of Afghanistan (IS). Before they could attack the ongoing military withdrawal at Kabul airport.
