China News Service, October 16th, a comprehensive report that during the U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan at the end of August, an air strike in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, killed 10 civilians, including 7 children.
On October 15, the US Department of Defense stated that it was willing to provide compensation to the relatives of the 10 victims, but the US did not disclose the specific amount.
The US Department of Defense also stated that it is cooperating with the State Department. If the relatives of these 10 people intend to leave Afghanistan, they will be resettled to the United States.
The statement stated that the undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense, Colin Kahl, and Steven Kwon, the founder and president of the Afghan local aid group "International Nutrition and Education", held a meeting to make a compensation decision.
In the last few days of the U.S. withdrawal from the Afghan capital, Kabul, intelligence units mistakenly regarded Ezmarai Ahmadi, who worked for the agency, as an IS militant. They tracked down Amadei’s white Toyota for 8 hours. Later, the car was attacked with missiles, resulting in the innocent deaths of 3 adults and 7 children, including Amadi.
Twenty days after the incident, at the press conference of the Department of Defense on September 17, Mackenzie, the commander of the US Central Command, admitted that after investigation and assessment, the car attacked by the US army and the victims were unlikely to be related to the extremist organization "Islamic State." "The Afghan branch is connected and will not pose a direct threat to the US military.
The attack was a "tragic mistake."
The families of the 10 victims previously demanded compensation from the US and apologized to them face to face.
