The U.S. military said on Friday that a drone strike in Kabul last month killed as many 10 civilians, including seven children, and it apologized for what the Pentagon said was a tragic mistake.

Senior U.S. officers had said the Aug. 29 strike that took place as foreign forces completed the last stages of their withdrawal from Afghanistan targeted an Islamic States suicide bomber who posed an imminent threat to Kabul airport.

“At the time of the strike, I was confident that the strike had averted an imminent threat to our forces at the airport,” U.S. General Frank McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, told reporters. “Our investigation now concludes that the strike was a tragic mistake.”

He said he now believed it unlikely that those who died were Islamic State militants or posed a direct threat to U.S. forces. The Pentagon was considering reparations for the civilians killed, McKenzie said.

  1. As with any democrat disaster, no one EVER gets punished or loses their job, NEVER! The democrats just keep on blaming the few beaten down white racist Rino’s that are left in Congress. Every deadly mistake is the white Republicans fault.

  2. Yet, not a single person will be fired over this. They can’t. If they do, that will somehow someway give a victory to the racist Trump.
