“The missile exploded over the vehicle full of children, which was parked inside the house,” Aimal Ahmadi, Ezmarai’s brother, explained on Monday from Kwaja Burga, a densely populated neighborhood in northwestern Kabul.

“He killed them all,” he adds.

According to Aimal Ahmadi, ten family members died in the airstrike, including his own daughter and five children.

On Monday, when AFP went to the scene, the grieving father was eagerly awaiting the arrival of relatives to help him organize the burial of most of his family members.

“My brother and his four children died. I lost my little daughter, to nephews and nieces,” he lists sadly in front of the wreckage of the car, reduced to a pile of charred metal.

The United States reported on Sunday the destruction of a vehicle loaded with explosives during an airstrike seeking to abort an attempt by the Islamic State group to detonate a car bomb at the Afghan capital’s airport.

The action may stand as the latest mistake by the U.S. military in twenty years of war against the Taliban, often marred by the deaths of dozens of civilians as “collateral damage.”

“We know that there were substantial and powerful subsequent explosions due to the destruction of the vehicle, which indicates that inside there was a large amount of explosive material that may have caused more casualties,” said Captain Bill Urban , spokesman for Army Central Command on Sunday.

“It’s not clear what could have happened and we are investigating further,” he added.

– Despair –

The words exude cruelty for Aimal, who finds it hard to believe that his brother could have been taken by a supporter of the Islamic State or, even worse, by a suicide bomber preparing an attack.

Ezmarai was an engineer and worked for an oenagé, 1 ordinary Afghan who simply sought to reach the end of the month in a period of strong instability, he explains.

But American nerves were in full swing after a suicide bomber killed himself Thursday in a bomb attack Thursday at the airport entrance, where crowds were gathering in hopes of being able to leave the country.

More than a hundred people were killed, including 13 U.S. soldiers, the worst blow to their army in Afghanistan since 2011.

When the neighbors heard the explosion, they quickly went to Aimal and Ezmarai’s house to see what they could help with.

“All the children died inside the vehicle, the adults were dead just outside. The car was on fire, we could only find pieces of the corpses,” says one of them, Sabir.

The preventive excuses of the United States, which showed its deep sadness at the eventual deaths of civilians, are of little use to Rashid Noori, another neighbor.

“The Taliban are killing us, the Islamic State is killing us, the Americans are killing us,” he despairs.

“Do they think all our children are terrorists?”
