The final act of the U.S. war in Afghanistan was a drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 people. Our latest investigation shows how a man the military saw as an "imminent threat" and "ISIS facilitator" was actually an aid worker returning to his family: https://t.co/eUX5WSImrD

The NY Times investigated, and found out that the drone strike killed Zemari Ahmadi and his family. Zemari Ahmadi worked for Nutrition & Education International, an aid organization / NGO for 14 years.

Unfortunately, the credibility of the New York Times on this kind of story is non-existent.
Such a beautiful story, with nary a glitch or gap, and, as always, completely unsourced.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

As skeptical as I am about the NY Times editorial staff, their video team and some of their international team do good work.
From the investigative team’s tweet:
A Times investigation of video evidence, along with interviews with more than a dozen of the driver’s co-workers and family members in Kabul, raises serious doubts about the U.S. version of events.
They have video evidence from his neighborhood, his NGO’s security cameras, and interviews with men who were in the car with the victim prior to the strike (when loading and unloading laptops at the NGO and filling up water containers that are consistent with the interviews. In addition, even the previous reports indicated that this was likely the case, and the likely victim of the drone strike.

I’d worry about turning over Afghanistan to the 9-11 perps if it weren’t for Joe’s unparalleled “over the horizon” anti terror campaign infrastructure and the transparency of his military leadership. We missed the bomber at the gate and blew away an aide worker and his family. No worries though Joe…third times the charm!
At least Trump hit his targets.

BREAKING: Gen. McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, to announce no ISIS-K fighters killed in U.S. drone strike in Kabul Aug 29. 10 civilians killed, including 7 children in Toyota. No disciplinary action expected, officials say. US military stands by intel leading to strike.

No discipline expected. Stands by… getting fed back a target by the Taliban, possibly stolen from the biometric database…. Grand.
