MUSLIM ORGANIZATION DEMANDS PENTAGON OFFICIALS RESIGN FOR KABUL DRONE STRIKE
A Muslim-American advocacy group on Thursday urged any Pentagon official directly involved in a botched airstrike in Afghanistan last August to resign.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR called for the resignation of U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and “any military officials who had a direct role in approving the drone strike that killed 10 civilians.”
The Pentagon this week released a video of the attack.
CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said it shows “the Pentagon launched a reckless attack that was guaranteed to kill innocent people in a densely-packed neighborhood.”
The Department of Defense ruled out any punishment to soldiers involved in the strike.
