NYT: Biden May Have Droned Innocent Family in Kabul; Possible War Crime
The New York Times published the results of an investigation on Friday that suggests the Biden administration targeted an innocent man who worked for a U.S. organization in a drone strike that killed several civilians. If true, the airstrike could constitute a violation of international law governing such targeted killings in wartime — in other words, a war crime.
The airstrike, which took place on August 29, was presented by the Biden administration as an attack on a potential ISIS-K terrorist who had been driving an explosive-laden vehicle that was to be detonated at the international airport in Kabul. It was the second such strike, following one on Aug. 28 in Nangarhar province against suspected Islamic State terrorists.
The Times report suggests that the U.S. killed “the wrong person†in a report accompanied by security camera footage that shows the target, Zemari Ahmadi, filling water canisters for his family that the military may have mistaken for explosives.
Astonishingly, the Times reports that “[m]ilitary officials said they did not know the identity of the car’s driver when the drone fired.†But in the wake of an August 26 suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers as well as scores of Afghan civilians, they believed that he posed an imminent danger based on “how they interpreted his activities that day.†(snip)
Mistaken identity, by itself, is not proof that international law has been violated. However, if there is no genuine attempt to identify the target, such a killing may violate international law.
Of course, none of this would have happened if Biden’s plan hadn’t been garbage from the get go. Now what happens? That the NY Times actually investigated and published this story is amazing. They report that the number of civilians killed wasn’t three, but, ten, including seven children. Expect quite a bit of stonewalling from the Biden admin and their Woke military leaders.
And, of course, most of the other big media outlets are totally ignoring the story. Have to protect Surrender Joe, you know.
