One year later: More fallout from an Afghan drone strike
Fox News senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot provides details on the August 2021 U.S. drone strike that mistakenly killed 10 civilians. There is a lot of unfinished business following last year's messy U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban were taking over, including the fallout from a drone strike there that went horribly wrong. Three days after the Islamic State suicide bomb attack at Kabul Airport, which left 13 U.S. service members and many more Afghan civilians killed, the military thought they were on to another ISIS terrorist. All day on Aug. 29, 2021, they tracked a car making what appeared to be suspicious stops across Kabul. Late in the day, they let loose a Hellfire missile from a Reaper drone, obliterating the car, its surroundings and those at scene.
