US Killer Drone Program | A wrongly targeted Afghan aid worker and his family are among the latest casualties.
On August 29, in the final days of its 20-year occupation of Afghanistan, the United States launched a drone strike, firing a 20-pound (9-kilogram) Hellfire missile at an aid worker named Zemari Ahmadi as he parked his car outside his home in a residential neighborhood of Kabul.

The strike killed Ahmadi and nine members of his family, including seven children, five of whom were younger than 10.
The children had come outside to meet Ahmadi as he returned home from his job at an American non-governmental organization where he distributed food to Afghans displaced by the war. He and his family had applied for refugee resettlement in the United States.
When a surviving member of Ahmadi’s family complained publicly about the errant strike, the Pentagon did what it has been doing for 20 years in Afghanistan. It lied.
