    US Drone Strike in Kabul Kills a Family, Including 6 Kids

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The death toll from a US airstrike that targeted a vehicle in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Sunday has gone up to nine, all members of the same family, a relative of those killed told CNN.

    A brother of one of the dead told a journalist working with CNN on Sunday that they were "an ordinary family," not affiliated with Daesh*.
    There are six children, including his four-year-old sister Armin, 3-year-old brother Benyamin, and two two-year-old sisters Ayat and Sumaya among those killed, the man said, as he reportedly cried.
    Earlier, US central command spokesman Capt. Bill Urban said that a drone strike was carried out on Sunday on a vehicle in Kabul, eliminating a Daesh-K* threat to the airport.

    The media stages so many lies it isn't funny. Just like the ones running beside the big plane. You know the people would have been sucked up in the engine or blown away behind it. They think Americans are stupid. And many don't question anything.

    ...and yet you only read Sputnik and RT...or any source that is blatantly anti-American.

    REAL JOURNALISM to you is anything that $#@!s on the USA...from anywhere.
    As long as they $#@! in the USA, you think they are a reputable source.
    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

    Perhaps civilians were killed in the strike--I hope not but it's always possible--yet we're told an "explosives-laden vehicle" was targeted. If true, what should they have done? Should they have let the suicide bomber reach his destination and kill hundreds? It's a sticky wicket. What would you have done?

    A U.S. drone strike on Sunday destroyed an explosives-laden vehicle that the Pentagon said posed an imminent threat to Afghanistan’s main airport, as the massive airlift of Afghans fleeing Taliban rule shut down just two days before the scheduled final withdrawal of American forces.

    Afghans said the drone strike killed as many as nine civilians, including children, and the U.S. military said it was investigating the assertions.

    Actually, we hear that from Chinese nationals who speak out even when they endanger their own lives by doing so.
