The US military finally admitted on the 17th that the drone attack carried out by the US military in the Afghan capital Kabul on August 29 “didn’t kill terrorists, but killed ten Afghan civilians”, but no one was said to be punished for it.
Before acknowledging that the air strikes on Kabul at the end of last month were a “tragic mistake,” the US military had insisted that the air strikes were based on reliable intelligence and eliminated the threat of extremist organizations. In fact, before the US military admitted it, many parties, including reporters from China Central Radio and Television, had already exposed the lies of the US military.

Headquarters reporter visited the air raid site to expose the lies of the U.S. military
After the air raid on August 29, the main station reporter visited the scene, but there was no trace of the so-called “second explosion” at the scene, which has since been confirmed by weapons experts. The headquarter reporter also interviewed the families of the victims to expose the lies of the United States.
Headquarters reporter Obaid: Behind me is the house that was attacked by the US military yesterday. 10 people, including children, were killed. The families of the victims said that his brother worked for foreigners and had no connection with (extreme) organizations. They demanded Get justice.
Imaar, a family member of the victims of the US air strike: I lost my brother, his three sons, my daughter, and four nephews. The air strike occurred at 4 pm on the 29th. The U.S. military made a big mistake. We lost 10 relatives. Now even if the U.S. military admits the mistake, it is of no use to us. We want justice, the US military must hear our voice, they should not do it again.
U.S. media reveals details of U.S. military indiscriminate killing of civilians in Afghanistan
The US media disclosed earlier this month that the deceased named Zamarai Ahmadi, who was regarded as the “target” by the US military, was an electrical engineer in his early 40s. Since 2006, he has been a company headquartered in California, the United States named He works for the “Aid Organization” of “International Nutrition and Education” and lives near Kabul International Airport.
On the morning of the air raid, Ahmadi drove his white Toyota sedan out to work as usual, picking up colleagues at multiple locations on the way and heading to the office. At this time, US military intelligence stated that “a white car drove out of an extremist organization base 5 kilometers away from the airport.” It was this intelligence that laid the groundwork for Ahmadi’s tragic death.
After receiving the intelligence, the U.S. Army focused on Ahmad’s white car. The US military claimed that intelligence showed that the vehicle driven by Ahmadi “entered a den of an extremist organization.” But in fact, this location is actually the Kabul office of the “aid organization” where Ahmadi works.
Before leaving get off work, due to the lack of water at home, Ahmadi collected water in a container at the work place and put it in the car to take it home. A security guard also confirmed that he helped Ahmadi fill multiple plastic buckets with water, but these buckets were used as explosives by the US military.
Ahmadi’s relatives recalled that at about 4:50 that afternoon, Ahmadi drove the car into the yard and went home. His nephew stepped forward to help move the water, and the children happily greeted him. Before the car was turned off, it was attacked by a U.S. drone. There was a loud noise, and shards of window glass spattered everywhere.
U.S. foreign wars frequently cause tragedies to obstruct accountability
In the 20-year war in Afghanistan, the two US military fires that resulted in the death of a large number of Afghan civilians exposed in August were only the “tip of the iceberg.”

In 2012, US soldier Robert Bales shot and killed 16 Afghan civilians in villages near the US military station, most of whom were women and children.
In 2010, US soldiers stationed in Afghanistan formed a “killing team” to shoot and kill innocent civilians for entertainment purposes and cut off the fingers of the victims as trophies.
In 2008, U.S. military airstrikes on Azizabad village in Herat province killed nearly 100 civilians, including 50 children and 19 women.
What is extremely bad is that the United States often treats U.S. soldiers who have committed crimes lightly or leniently, or simply can’t stop them. Robert Bales, a US soldier who shot and killed Afghan civilians, returned to the United States to stand trial and exempted from the death sentence through a plea agreement. In 2019, then US President Trump also used his executive power to pardon US soldiers who committed war crimes in Afghanistan.
In order to cover up the scandal, the U.S. government brutally obstructed the investigation of the U.S. military’s war crimes in Afghanistan by international agencies. In March 2020, the International Criminal Court announced the investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the US military in Afghanistan. In September of that year, the US State Department announced that it would impose sanctions on Fatou Bensouda, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court who initiated this investigation, and freeze the assets of the individuals and entities supporting him in the United States. The United States also claims that it is not a signatory to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, claiming that the International Criminal Court has no right to investigate American personnel.
