Deadly US strike in Kabul missed evidence of child present-investigation - The Jerusalem Post

An August US drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians was not caused by criminal negligence but by a series of errors, including not noticing a child minutes before the strike took place, an investigation by a military inspector general found on Wednesday.

The Aug. 29 strike killed 10 civilians, including seven children, in an incident the military previously called a "tragic mistake."

Initially, the Pentagon had said the strike targeted an Islamic State suicide bomber who posed an imminent threat to US-led troops at the airport as they completed the last stages of their withdrawal from Afghanistan.
