No one is expected to be held accountable for the U.S. drone strike that killed 10 innocent people in Afghanistan, including seven children, in the final days of the Afghanistan War.

On Friday, the Pentagon admitted that those killed in the drone strike — described initially as retaliation for the attacks at the Kabul airport on August 26 — were not members of the terrorist group ISIS-K or even a threat to U.S. forces.
