Ten members of one family — including seven children — were killed in a US drone strike targeting a vehicle in a residential neighborhood of Kabul, a relative of the dead told CNN.The US carried out a defensive airstrike in Kabul, targeting a suspected ISIS-K suicide bomber who posed an “imminent” threat to the airport, US Central Command said Sunday.The youngest victims of Sunday’s airstrike were two 2-year-old girls, according to family members.Relatives found the remains of one of the girls, Malika, in the rubble near their home on Monday. A family member told CNN that it was unclear whether Malika had been inside the vehicle or in the compound when the strike hit.They were “an ordinary family,” a brother of the one of those killed said. “We are not ISIS or Daesh and this was a family home — where my brothers lived with their families.”Relatives of the victims spent Monday at a Kabul hospital identifying remains and separating them into coffins. The 2-year-old girls, Malika and Sumaya, were among the names marked on the coffins.At a funeral held later in the day, family members shouted “Death to America.”

  1. From CNN? That is the kind of story they would have been happy to run during the Trump administration.

    To paraphrase LBJ, “When you’ve lost CNN, you’ve lost America.” Not that Biden ever had America, but you get the idea.

  2. Just can’t quit pissing people off.
    So were there any ISIS-K member present, or just blow something up at random for the news cycle.
    I think I already know the answer.

  3. Soon they’ll be doing this to white supremacist domestic terrorists, aka, anyone who supported Trump… and the left will cheer (Ashley Babbit) and claim they are saving countless lives (Black guy that murdered Ashley Babbit)
