KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A survivor of an errant U.S. drone strike that killed 10 members of his family demanded Saturday that those responsible be punished and said Washington’s apology was not enough.
The family also seeks financial compensation and relocation to the United States or another country deemed safe, said Emal Ahmadi, whose 3-year-old daughter Malika was among those killed in the Aug. 29 strike.

The tragic drone strike which killed an entire innocent Afghan family in the belief they were terrorists was a real world test of Biden’s “over the horizon” counterterrorist strategy and shows up the weakness of 7 hour drone flight times and lack of ground intelligence vs real time targets.
Biden’s over the horizon assurance
We’ve developed counterterrorism over-the-horizon capability that will allow us to keep our eyes firmly fixed on any direct threats to the United States in the region and to act quickly and decisively if needed.
