A US drone strike in August that led to the deaths of 10 Afghan civilians, including three men and seven children, was an "honest mistake," a Pentagon inspector said Wednesday. Speaking at a press conference on a classified review of the killings, Air Force Lieutenant General Sami Said blamed "execution errors," "confirmation bias and communication breakdowns" for the civilian casualties. "The investigation found no violation of law, including the law of war," said Said, adding that the strike "was not criminal conduct, random conduct, negligence."
