WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - A drone strike in Kabul last month killed as many as 10 civilians, including seven children, the US military said on Friday (Sept 17), apologising for what it said was a tragic mistake. The Pentagon had said the Aug 29 strike targeted an Islamic State suicide bomber who posed an imminent threat to US-led troops at the airport as they completed the last stages of their withdrawal from Afghanistan. Even as reports of civilian casualties emerged, the top US general had described the attack as "righteous". Apology seems cold and forced. Say sorry also can't bring back the dead In wartime civilian casualties is to be expected but with the surveillance technology they have, the lives lost is one too many Disaster for the biden adminstration
