Last month, during the evacuation process from Afghanistan, a US airstrike on a vehicle suspected of terrorism killed 10 people. However, it turned out that all of them were civilians who had nothing to do with terrorism. President Biden's blame for the failure to withdraw from Afghanistan is expected to intensify.

<Reporter> On the
29th of last month, a U.S. drone attack struck a vehicle parked in a residential area in Kabul, Afghanistan.
The attack killed 3 adults and 7 children, a total of 10 people.
[Samia / Survivors of Airstrike Victims: My father was lying in the car, and there were fragments in the chest, neck, and body. He was bleeding from his ears.] The
US military said it was a precision blow to an IS vehicle loaded with explosives, but it turned out that the driver of the vehicle at the time was 43-year-old Ahmadi working for an aid organization based in the United States.
It is known that on the day of the incident, he commuted to work by car as usual, distributed relief food, and then returned home and suffered a bowel movement.
As suspicions arose that the wrong information had killed civilians, the US military launched its own investigation and today (18th) admitted that it was a false airstrike.
He added that none of the dead had anything to do with IS.
[McKinsey/U.S. Army Central Command: This attack was conducted in the belief that this attack could prevent a terrorist attack on the evacuees at the airport and the US military. But it was a mistake. I'm really sorry.] As
it was revealed that the unexpected chaos and terrorism, as well as the civilians who were pityed by the Americans, were revealed, criticism is growing that President Biden's evacuation from Afghanistan was a total failure.
