According to a new investigation, the US drone strike in Kabul did not kill a deadly ISIS-K terrorist driving a vehicle bomb, but rather an innocent Afghan humanitarian Aid worker employed by an American NGO, as well as the children who came to welcome him.
According to the Pentagon’s official account, the August 29 drone attack targeted a white Toyota belonging to Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), a terrorist cell that claimed responsibility for the deaths of 13 US servicemen and 170-plus Afghan civilians at Kabul airport a few days earlier.
Multiple officials stated that “additional explosions” demonstrated that the vehicle was equipped with explosives.
The outlet conducted on-the-ground interviews with survivors, reviewed security camera footage and satellite images, and edited everything into a 10-minute film.
Every step along the process demonstrates that the official account of events is just not credible.

Ahmadi had spent 14 years with Nutrition & Education International, an American non-governmental organization that established soy mills and supplied food to impoverished Afghans.
On August 29, he was enjoying a typical day, picking up coworkers on his way to breakfast and the NGO office in Kabul’s Karte Seh area.
According to five guys in the car with Ahmadi who were questioned by a Times reporter, what the US military perceived as a sequence of suspicious moves was a regular day in Ahmadi’s life.
The “suspect goods” he was carrying into the car were water jugs Ahmadi had filled at the workplace due to water scarcity in his area.
Ahmadi’s automobile was mobbed by neighborhood kids as he went home.
Despite this, the drone strike crew claimed to have spotted only one adult guy present.
The vehicle was then hit by a 20lb Hellfire missile launched by a MQ-9 Reaper drone.
Large secondary explosions, according to the US military, showed the automobile was a bomb designed to kill Americans at the airport.
General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is one of many who has said so.
“At this time, we believe the protocols were followed appropriately, and it was a just strike,” Milley told reporters on September 1, after the US airlift from Kabul concluded.
Ahmadi had sought a special visa to relocate to the United States with his family just days before his death.
Instead, they were murdered in a drone attack reported gleefully by the Pentagon as the death of an “ISIS-K facilitator.”
The strike, according to local media and the Taliban, killed people.
Three adults and seven children were killed in all.
