An independent Pentagon review has concluded that the U.S. drone strike in the final days of the Afghanistan war was not caused by misconduct or negligence.
The review, done by the Air Force Lt. Gen. Sami Said, found there were breakdowns in communication and in the process of identifying and confirming the target of the bombing.
The review, done by the Air Force Lt. Gen. Sami Said, found there were breakdowns in communication and in the process of identifying and confirming the target of the bombing, according to a senior defense official familiar with the report. But, Said concluded that the mistaken strike happened despite prudent measures to prevent civilian deaths, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a report not yet released.
Said was asked to investigate the Aug. 29 drone strike on a white Toyota Corolla sedan, which killed Zemerai Ahmadi and nine family members, including seven children. Ahmadi, 37, was a longtime employee of an American humanitarian organization. The review recommends that the military have personnel present with a strike team whose job it is to actively question such conclusions. The report says using a so-called "red-team" in such self-defense strikes that are being done quickly might help avoid errors.
