Biden supports 'thorough investigation' into botched Afghan drone strike
Fox News
The White House said Monday that President Joe Biden supports an investigation into the Afghanistan drone strike that killed 10 civilians.
Psaki went on to reiterate comments from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie that the drone strike was "done in error," and affirmed that "clearly, the investigation that will continue is something the president broadly supports."
"As a human being, as a president, as someone who has overseen loss in a variety of scenarios, both as a leader and personally, his reaction is it's a tragedy and every loss is a tragedy and he supports the effort to move this forward as quickly as possible and to have a thorough investigation," she added.
Psaki would not say if anyone would be fired or otherwise held accountable for the drone strike, which the Pentagon initially claimed had killed ISIS-K "planners and facilitators" of the Aug. 26 suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members.
