Fox News
The Pentagon has offered condolence payments to the surviving family members of the 10 innocent civilians, including seven children, who were accidentally killed in a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan in late August.
The deaths of the civilians were a "tragic mistake," Dr. Colin Kahl, undersecretary of defense for policy, said Thursday, according to a Pentagon statement from press secretary John Kirby.
Kahl reiterated that victim Zemari Ahmadi and the others who were killed were innocent victims who "bore no blame and were not affiliated with ISIS-K or threats to U.S. forces," the statement added.
