Declassified Footage Released of Botched Drone Strike

Initially, officials claimed the Aug. 29 strike in Kabul killed two fighters in the ISIS-K terror group who were believed to be plotting an imminent attack on U.S. forces in the city.

'Significant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material,' said Capt. Bill Urban, U.S. Central Command spokesman

But reporters on the scene quickly said that civilians, including seven children, had died. The driver turned out to be Zemari Ahmadi, who worked for the aid group Nutrition & Education International.

And by December officials were forced to recant their initial defense of the operation and admit they simply got it wrong.
