Pentagon defends Kabul drone strike as ‘righteous’
The rules of engagement were followed in the lead-up to a strike that killed 10 people, including children, the top general says.
The top US general on Wednesday said the military followed proper procedure in conducting a drone strike that killed as many as 10 people in Afghanistan’s capital last Sunday.
The strike targeted what US Central Command said at the time were “multiple suicide bombers” in a car near Kabul International Airport where US and NATO troops were guarding chaotic evacuations from Taliban rule.
