The Pentagon released footage showing the final moments before 10 innocent Afghans, including seven children, were killed in an errant drone strike during the final days of the US pullout.
The drone strike took place on Aug. 29, three days after an ISIS-K suicide bomber killedand more than 180 Afghans outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.
In the other video, which begins in color before turning black-and-white and is shot from a lower angle, the image shows the vehicle pulling under a canopy and people walking up to it. When the picture returns, the car is consumed in a ball of flames that reaches above the rooftops, spewing thick black smoke.
Zemari Ahmadi, an Afghan employed by California-based Nutrition and Education International, and nine of his family members died in the botched strike.Relatives told the Times that some children met Ahmadi as he arrived that day, with one clambering into his car, in the courtyard of a compound where four families lived.In the days after the strike, military officials described a second explosion, and believed that justified their suspicion that the car had been carrying bombs.
