Fox News
The Air Force on Tuesday said Lt. Gen. Sami Said will lead a review of the investigation that found 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, were killed in a Kabul Aug. 29 drone strike.
The announcement comes one day after Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a senior-level review of the investigation that detailed the day’s events.
The investigation conducted by the U.S. Central Command found that the military mistakenly identified a white Toyota Corolla, believed to be carrying at least one Islamic State fighter, and instead was carrying a longtime Afghan employee at a U.S. humanitarian organization.
