A new report reveals that the recent drone strike conducted by the U.S. military in Kabul actually killed an aid worker who worked for a U.S. organization. He had no ties to ISIS, despite the U.S.’s claims that the strike was conducted to neutralize an ISIS threat.
The identity of the man killed was 43-year-old Zemari Ahmadi.
Ahmadi was a longtime worker for a U.S. aid group.
The U.S. military has conceded that the drone strike might have killed three civilians, but the investigative reports shows that 10 were killed, including seven children.
The Biden administration initially claimed there were explosives in the car, the driver had a connection to ISIS, and that there was a second explosion after the missile struck the car.
But this new report is raising serious doubts about their version of the events.
The U.S. Central Command initial statement described the strike as a “self-defense” operation that eliminated an “imminent ISIS-K threat” to the airport. “Significant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material.” In a press conference Sept. 1, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley called it a “righteous strike” that correctly followed procedures.
But the Times and Post investigations were unable to find evidence of any explosives in the car, which they say was driven by 43-year-old Zemari Ahmadi, an engineer working for the U.S. aid group Nutrition and Education International, which aims to eliminate malnutrition in Afghanistan. Family members told the Times that Ahmadi had applied for refugee resettlement in the United States.

U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Bill Urban refused to comment on the accusations, claiming he couldn’t because of an ongoing investigation.
It’s very sad, but war is war, and unfortunately sometimes there’s civilian casualties. There is going to be those casualties, no getting around it. RIP to those who lost their whole life, and had probably no promise of a “QRF” and EVAC team!
Actions like this are proving that this (fraud) administration is HELLBENT to destroy the UNITED STATES and its ALLIES. When they had the chance to take out the terrorist bomber, who killed 13 marines and other military personnel and now kill a person who was helping the U.S. to combat invaders, and they did not do anything but sit on their OVERGROWN BUTTS and TAKE NO ACTION, we know that they are selling the country out for their GREED and CONTROL.
I’m sorry to say that I totally agree with you.
Sad but true !!
So True , He Needs To Be Impeached Immediately & Put In Prison !!! The United States National Security Is At Stake For More Terrorist & Attacts !!!! Biden Doesn’t Even Care About Our Country , Traitor !!! Disabled U.S. Army Infantry Soldier For Life !!! J.T.
Anthony Mizell, I vehemently disagree with you. This was not “ acceptable losses”. This man was targeted. The intel on him was flawed and 100% incorrect. Had we had boots on the ground this would not have happened. Whoever provided the intel and/or whoever recommended or approved this strike should be fired.
Amennn !!! J.T.
