After 13 US servicemembers were killed in Afghanistan outside the Kabul airport by a suicide bomber allegedly from ISIS-K, Biden was decisive in striking back. They used a Hellfire missile fired from a drone to take out a vehicle being driven by a supposed ISIS terrorist, the car said to be filled with explosives. The far-left NY Times, usually painting very flattering pictures of the President, investigated and found that the official story appears to be totally untrue.<\/p>\n

From the NY Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

It was the last known missile fired by the United States in its 20-year war in Afghanistan, and the military called it a \u201crighteous strike\u201d \u2014 a drone attack after hours of surveillance on Aug. 29 against a vehicle that American officials thought contained an ISIS bomb and posed an imminent threat to troops at Kabul\u2019s airport.<\/p>\n

But a New York Times investigation of video evidence, along with interviews with more than a dozen of the driver\u2019s co-workers and family members in Kabul, raises doubts about the U.S. version of events, including whether explosives were present in the vehicle, whether the driver had a connection to ISIS, and whether there was a second explosion after the missile struck the car.<\/p>\n

Military officials said they did not know the identity of the car\u2019s driver when the drone fired, but deemed him suspicious because of how they interpreted his activities that day, saying that he possibly visited an ISIS safe house and, at one point, loaded what they thought could be explosives into the car.<\/p>\n

Times reporting has identified the driver as Zemari Ahmadi, a longtime worker for a U.S. aid group. The evidence suggests that his travels that day actually involved transporting colleagues to and from work. And an analysis of video feeds showed that what the military may have seen was Mr. Ahmadi and a colleague loading canisters of water into his trunk to bring home to his family.<\/p>\n

While the U.S. military said the drone strike might have killed three civilians, Times reporting shows that it killed 10, including seven children, in a dense residential block.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
