72 hours before the Biden administration admitted 7 innocent children were killed in Afghanistan, Antony Blinken told @RandPaul he did not know who was killed.

Was he lying under oath?

The New York Post reported on September 14, Sen. Rand Paul “questioned Blinken over the identity of the person the Biden administration ‘droned’ after reports emerged that an innocent aid worker and his family were killed instead of the intended ISIS-K target.

The secretary of state told the hearing that the identity of the person was still being reviewed.

‘So you don’t know or won’t tell us?’ Paul pressed the nation’s top diplomat. ‘I don’t, I don’t know, because we’re reviewing it,’ Blinken responded.”

Sen. @RandPaul: “The guy the Biden administration droned: was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?”

Business Insider reports, “The US targeted an aid worker with a drone strike in Kabul, mistakenly believe he was an ISIS-K militant preparing for a terror attack, according to a New York Times report. In the process, the August 29 strike killed 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children.

The aid worker, Zemari Ahmadi, was also killed by the 20-pound Hellfire missile fired at his car, per the report.

The US military framed the threat posed by the car as imminent, and defended the drone attack as a ‘righteous strike.’ Officials said the military believed the car was being packed with explosives for an attack.

But footage obtained by The New York Times suggests Ahmadi was actually loading the car with water containers for his home.”
