According to a Daily Wire report, the Biden Administration is now admitting that a drone strike from last year that reportedly took out a senior Al Qaeda official actually killed a shepherd.
From The Daily Wire:
After a months-long investigation into a unilateral counterterrorism air strike in Northwest Syria on May 3, 2023, intended to take out a top Al Qaeda official, U.S. Central Command said in a summary of its findings that U.S. forces had mistakenly identified and taken out a civilian instead of a terrorist.
“The investigation determined U.S. forces misidentified the intended Al Qaeda target and that a civilian, Mr. Lufti Hasan Masto (Masto), was struck and killed instead,” CENTCOM said. “Many of the facts and other findings of the investigation involve classified information and cannot be shared publicly.”
CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla ordered an investigation into the strike on June 6, 2023, after reports that an Al Qaeda operative had not actually been killed in the strike. The investigation was conducted by U.S. Army Brigadier General John P. Cogbill and concluded on November 15, 2023.
