During the evacuation process from Afghanistan last month, the US air strikes a vehicle suspected of terrorism, killing 10 people. However, it turned out that all of the victims were civilians unrelated to terrorism. The U.S. military apologized for a terrible mistake, but criticism is growing that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was an unreasonable operation from the beginning.

<Reporter> On the



29th of last month, the US military said that a drone struck a suspected IS bombing vehicle in a residential area in Kabul, Afghanistan.



In addition to the terrorist suspect, a total of 10 people, including 7 children nearby, were killed, he explained, because an explosive in the vehicle detonated.



However, as the driver at the time was confirmed to be an employee of an American relief organization, suspicions were raised that it was a mistake.

He mistook a water bottle in the car for an explosive and believed that the gas cylinder around the scene exploded as a secondary explosion. Suspicions arose one after another, and the US military eventually admitted that it was a mistake.



The victims apologized, saying they had nothing to do with ISIS.

In 2015, the US military bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan, killing 22 medical staff and patients.

Criticism of sacrificing dear civilians by conducting unreasonable operations from the beginning Biden's accountability for the failure to withdraw from Afghanistan is further weighted.
