According to footage obtained by NYT

The final act of the U.S. war in Afghanistan was a drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 people. Our latest investigation shows how a man the military saw as an "imminent threat" and "ISIS facilitator" was actually an aid worker returning to his family


The military said it believed Zemari Ahmadi’s white Toyota Corolla, which it tracked by drone for eight hours that day, was packed with explosives. Security camera video we obtained showed him loading it with water containers for his home.

Ahmadi was a 14-year employee of Nutrition & Education International, a U.S. NGO that fights malnutrition. He helped start up soy factories, repair machinery, transport his colleagues and distribute food from his Corolla to displaced Afghans.





The rest of the Twitter thread is just devastating

This man helped the us for 14 years and what our military thought were bombs were actually water canisters he was bringing to his family

It is awful. Terrible.

Had we left the right way however, strikes wouldn’t have been needed.

Many prayers for him and his family as well as our people and the SIV holders still trying to get out.

This administration is pathetic. They all need to be in prison.

The Corolla was too powerful, as are all Toyotas, so they blew poor Zemari and nine others to smithereens.

If they were going to blow some innocent people up at least make it some deadbeat.

This administration…. I just can’t put it in words how awful and evil they are. If there’s a hell, all of them are going to it.

Jesus Christmas
Just when you thought the Obama bin Biden Trainwreck couldn’t get any worse they prove us wrong.


The list of Afghanis who helped us that our usurpers GAVE to the Taliban and now this is just beyond disgusting.

Is the Taliban now calling American drone strikes?

Drone warfare should be considered a war crime. Why the pro-war democrats love them so much is beyond me.

Obama killed countless families with drone strikes, he treated it as a damn video game.

That’s treason and everyone involved with that decision should get the appropriate penalty for that crime.
