But he failed to mention the high civilian casualty rate from the August 29 drone strike, and he failed to mention that children had been killed. The drone strike occurred at the home where Ahmadi lived with three of his brothers and their families. The drone strike in Kabul came as US forces were on high alert following an ISIS-K suicide blast on August 26 that killed 13 US troops and scores of Afghans on August 26. However, an improvised rocket attack on the Kabul airport was launched from a car near the home of the non-profit director the morning after the drone strike. Witnesses say Ahmadi loaded nothing into his car other than the water jugs in the trunk and two laptops in the passenger compartment.
