Overseas Network, September 11th. A new investigation published by the New York Times claimed that the U.S. military’s drone attack in Kabul on August 29, local time did not kill terrorists, but accidentally killed one. Innocent Afghan aid workers employed by American NGOs and children who came to welcome him.
According to reports from today’s Russia and other media on the 10th, the U.S. Department of Defense claimed that the target of the drone attack on August 29 was a white car in the “Khorasan Province” branch of the Islamic State, and the car’s “second explosion” It proved that the vehicle contained explosives. However, an investigation report published by the New York Times on the 10th revealed that after interviewing the survivors of the incident and checking the video and satellite images of the security cameras, the reporter found that the US official’s statement was fundamental Untenable. No trace of a second explosion was found at the scene, only fragments of a Hellfire missile, which killed the innocent Afghan Ahmad and 7 children.
It is reported that the murdered Ahmadi worked for a non-governmental organization in the United States for 14 years, distributing food to malnourished Afghans. On August 29, his life went as usual, picking up colleagues on the way to the office. The five men who were in the car with Ahmadi interviewed by a reporter from The New York Times said that the “series of suspicious actions” claimed by the U.S. military was just an ordinary day in Ahmadi’s life. The so-called “suspicious packages” he loaded into the car were containers filled with water because his community was facing water shortages.
When Ahmadi drove home, his car was surrounded by neighbors’ children. However, the U.S. drone strike team claimed that “they only saw an adult male present.” An MQ-9 drone then fired a 20-pound Hellfire missile at the vehicle. The U.S. military claimed that a large-scale secondary explosion at the scene proved that the car had a bomb with the purpose of “killing Americans at the airport.” However, US media reporters showed the photos and videos of the scene to three experts. They agreed that the situation at the scene was only in line with a “hellfire” bomb explosion, and there was no large-scale secondary explosion.
Ahmadi’s relative Yusuf could not hide his sadness in an interview with the media afterwards. He said: “(The US military) attacked us and killed our children without any evidence and without any investigation. We will never Will forgive them.” Local Afghan media said that the airstrike caused the deaths of 3 adults and 7 children. (Overseas Net Zhang Ni)
