A Pentagon review of the U.S. drone strike that killed 10 civilians, including 7 children, in Kabul on Aug. 29 found that video footage showed at least one child present two minutes before the strike was launched, an official who led the review says.
, including seven children, in Kabul on Aug. 29 found that video footage showed at least one child present two minutes before the strike was launched, according to the official who led the review.
A fact sheet issued Wednesday about the review said,"the assessment prior to strike of individuals in the target area was inaccurate." "While this investigation had the benefit of considerable time to assess information available during the strike, those executing it didn't," Said's team concluded."What is clear now is understandably less so in real time."
The explosives used in the previous attack on the airport were believed to have been transported in a computer bag, according to Said. One of the factors that led to confirmation bias prior to the U.S. drone strike was seeing a computer bag in the car.
