The Pentagon withdrew from its earlier statement on the drone strike on Kabul, announcing Friday that a review revealed that only civilians were killed in the attack, not an Islamic State extremist as first believed. “The strike was a tragic mistake,” Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, told a Pentagon news conference. The drone strike caused multiple civilian casualties in Afghanistan last month.
