Three weeks ago, a US drone strike was ordered on a white Toyota Carolla car in Kabul, Afghanistan, being driven by a suspected terrorist.

The single Hellfire missile was launched from an M-Q Reaper drone which had surveilled its target for eight hours, flying at a maximum altitude of 50,000 feet.

Hellfire missiles travel at speeds of up to Mach 1.3 or 997 miles per hour, so there would have been around half a minute between the missile being launched and detonating.

The drone did its job and killed the suspected terrorist, whom American intelligence had identified as working for ISIS-K – Islamic State Khorasan Province, the most extreme and violent jihadist militant group in Afghanistan.

It also killed nine other people including seven children.

Despite immediate reports of innocent civilian casualties, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the Chinese-friendly chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a Pentagon news conference several days later in which he described the attack as a 'righteous strike.'

Righteous, according to the dictionary, means 'morally right or justifiable', 'free from guilt or sin' and 'very good, excellent.'

And General Milley certainly sounded very righteous as he defended the decision to 'neutralize' the suspected ISIS-K bomb maker who was supposedly preparing an imminent attack on Kabul airport.

But there was just one problem.

A rather massive problem, in fact.

The terror suspect, Zamarai Ahmadi, wasn't a terrorist.

He was an aid worker - a $500-a-month employee of the California-based charity Nutrition and Education International.

Three weeks ago, a US drone strike was ordered on a white Toyota Carolla car in Kabul, Afghanistan, being driven by a suspected terrorist. The terror suspect, Zamarai Ahmadi, wasn't a terrorist. He was an aid worker. The other victims were his family including his three sons, Zamir, 20, Faisal, 16, and Farzad, 11, three children of one of his brothers, Arwin, 7, Benyamin, 6 and Hayat, 2, Malika, the 3-year-old daughter of another brother, his nephew, Nasser, 30, and Somaya, a cousin's infant daughter

Virtually a whole family was therefore destroyed in a terrifying onslaught of hellfire and shrapnel that devastated their compound and the surrounding area

There was nothing 'righteous' about this horrifying incident. It was the pre-meditated slaughter of what turned out to be ten completely innocent people. The Pentagon's now admitted it was all a terrible mistake and apologised. But that's not good enough

None of the other victims were terrorists or connected to any terror group either.

They were though all from Ahmadi's family including his three sons, Zamir, 20, Faisal, 16, and Farzad, 11, three children of one of his brothers, Arwin, 7, Benyamin, 6 and Hayat, 2, Malika, the 3-year-old daughter of another brother, his nephew, Nasser, 30, and Somaya, a cousin's infant daughter.

This is a shocking, horrendous atrocity that should still be leading the news.

Instead, the liberal-dominated US mainstream media's done what it has done with horrible regularity throughout this Biden presidency when their guy Joe does something awful, and responded with a collective 'oh dear, what a shame' sigh and moved swiftly on.

Just as it did with the devastatingly disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan itself a few weeks ago.

To which I say: sorry, WHAT?!

How dare you all turn such a casual disinterested blind eye to this abomination?

President Biden should be vilified and harangued from
