A US airstrike in Kabul against a supposed Islamic State bomber actually killed an innocent man who worked for a US aid group and his family, according to newly published testimony and footage — raising the specter that the Pentagon lied to the public about the strike.
The reported case of mistaken identity also further tars President Biden for his chaotic pullout of US troops from Afghanistan, which left behind hundreds of US citizens and thousands of at-risk Afghans.
Zemari Ahmadi and nine members of his family, including seven children, were killed in the airstrike on Aug. 29, one day before the final US evacuation flights from Kabul, his brother Romal Ahmadi told the New York Times.
Ahmadi, who was the apparent target of the strike, worked for 14 years as a technical engineer in Afghanistan for the Pasadena, Calif.-based charity group Nutrition and Education International, which feeds hungry Afghans.
The aid group had applied for him to move to the US as a refugee.

give it 4 or 5 days, he’ll forget, and so will everyone else that could do something about it.
He doesn’t give a crap.
It always happens when weak leaders try to prove that they are strong.
Not an obama fan in the least - but he was supposed to have said - “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to turn everything he touches to sh*t”. If he really did say that - he at least got that one right.
Wrong guy??
With this bunch of communists, cannot believe any part of the story except that someone is dead...
This was all done to change the narrative from Biden doesn’t give a rats behind about dead soldiers to “Biden saves lives by taking out suicide car bomber” now we know the truth..heck I suspected as much..same with the ISIS-K planner story, they would NOT name any names, because they did not exist
What a despicable, incompetent, plain evil POS he is. He’s always been that way and is still true to form.
Raheem J. Kassam is going to release a story about how the Taliban are the ones who told the Biden Administration about this guy..I guess the Taliban wanted this guy gone and knew how retarded the Biden Administration is and how they would believe anything they said
I mean how does that stack up with a telephone call with the president of the Ukraine that was only meant to ferret out international corruption...?
Of course they didn’t want to actually take out a terrorist. They sacrificed a civilian instead. Less blowback. And the news media approves.
They’ve known this for weeks, waiting for a Friday news dump.
you wont hear a peep about this anywhere..Schiff wont care, neither will any other commie Dem, they have to protect Biden, if Biden goes down they all do and they wont let that happen..and of course the Taliban used Biden, they know he has pudding for brains, they knew he would buy this BS hook line and sinker
It’s a black comedy! “We killed an ISIS terrorist!” Actually just kills some random aid worker and 7 kids.
“ He doesn’t give a crap.”
True. The bombing fulfilled it’s purpose of making Biden appear responsive. For him, the death of an innocent family is well worth it. The press agrees.
Poor family.
IIRC, they also boasted that the Taliban had identified the “terrorist” for them…this was supposed to show how the Taliban was really on our side now, thanks to the genius of Biden and Blinken.
I’m sure the Taliban did identify the car and I’m sure the Taliban knew exactly who was in it. Not a terrorist, but somebody they probably hated, and we were kind enough to take him out for them.
Come on, man, that was two weeks ago.
