In this Sept. 13, 2021, file photo, Emal Ahmadi holds a picture of his slain brother Zemerai Ahmadi at the family house in Kabul, Afghanistan.One year after a deadly U.S. drone strike in Kabul killed 10 civilians, including seven children, 133 family members and co-workers of the Afghan aid worker mistakenly targeted remain outside of the United States despite an American commitment they would be brought to the U.S.
"It's been a year since a U.S. drone strike in Kabul wrongly targeted Zemari and wrecked countless innocent lives, said Kaufman in a statement issued on Monday's one year anniversary of the deadly drone strike. "Unfortunately, the government still hasn't made good on its promises to evacuate our clients, let alone resettle them in the U.S.
When U.S. military overhead drones spotted a suspiciously circuitous route by a white Toyota that had left the vicinity of what was believed to be an ISIS-K safehouse U.S. military officials called a preemptive drone strike on what they had concluded was the vehicle to be used in the possible attack.
In the wake of the drone strike, the Pentagon announced that it would be providing assistance for Ahmadi's family to be taken out of Afghanistan and that they would also received condolence payments. "We're all very disappointed that a year out from the strike we still have clients who are stuck in Afghanistan, and we think it is critical that the government follow through on its commitments to compensate the victims of the strike, but for the moment we'll continue to focus the bulk of our resources on getting the remainder of our group out safely.
