“International Nutrition and Education” is an aid organization with an office in Afghanistan. On August 29 this year, Ahmadi, an employee of the office, was mistakenly believed by the US military to be a terrorist and was killed by a drone fired missile. Nine civilians in the vicinity were also killed.
Kirby said on the 15th that Ahmadi and other people who lost their lives were innocent victims and had nothing to do with the Afghan branch of the extremist organization “Islamic State” and did not pose a threat to the US military. (Overseas Network Liu Qiang)
