US will not punish troops for deadly Kabul drone attack

Al Jazeera  

Pentagon says it does ‘not anticipate issues of personal accountability’ over August drone attack that killed 10 Afghan civilians. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has decided against disciplining any members of the United States military for an August drone attack in Kabul that killed 10 civilians, including seven children, the New York Times and several US news outlets reported on Monday. The New York Times first reported on Austin’s decision, citing an unidentified senior Pentagon official who said the defence secretary had approved a recommendation from two US military commanders not to discipline any personnel involved in the attack. Kirby said last month’s review left it to US commanders to reprimand military officials over the drone attack if necessary, and that Austin had asked two top generals for recommendations on how to proceed after the bombing. “We conduct effective counterterrorism missions against terrorist groups in multiple countries where we don’t have a permanent military presence,” President Joe Biden said in a speech on August 16.
