No Evidence of Bomb in Vehicle Hit by U.S. Drone Strike That Killed 10 Afghan Civilians
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A New York Times investigation finds the U.S. drone strike that killed
10 people, seven of them children, in the final days of the military
withdrawal likely killed a worker for a U.S. aid group and that there
was no evidence of an ISIS bomb in the targeted vehicle. Zemari Ahmadi,
who had applied for refugee resettlement in the United States, was
likely transporting people to and from work.

This all comes amid a growing humanitarian and displacement crisis. Many
Afghans who fled their towns for Kabul as the Taliban seized control are
still living on city streets and in parks.

Noor Ahmad: "There was a war. There was bloodshed. Houses were
destroyed. Children were orphaned. Women became widows. Because of these
problems, everyone was displaced and came to Kabul."
