* Shocking report reveals apparent botched drone strike killed Afghan aid worker
* The August 29 strike at a home near the Kabul airport killed 10, including 7 kids
* Pentagon claimed the vehicle was 'known to be an imminent ISIS-K threat'
* But driver Zemari Ahmadi, 43, was an aid worker seeking asylum in the US
* Surveillance video shows him loading the trunk with water jugs, not explosives
* Witnesses say he spent the day running normal errands for a US-based aid group
* Pentagon claimed his movements were suspicious and tied him to ISIS-K
* DoD tells DailyMail.com: 'We still believe that it prevented an imminent threat'
The drone strike that the Pentagon claimed killed an ISIS-K suicide bomber in Kabul actually targeted an aid worker who had filled his car with water jugs, rather than explosives, according to a shocking new report.
Zemari Ahmadi, 43, was driving the 1996 Toyota Corolla that was destroyed in the August 29 drone strike, killing him and nine family members, including seven children, according to a New York Times investigation.
The Pentagon still maintains that only three civilians died, despite the family now detailing in the new report how their 10 relatives were killed in the blast.

I have no doubt the order came from the White House. Tom Klain or Obama gave the order. One or more of the handlers pondered over the LBJ Khe Sanh sandbox, which had been transformed into a a mock up of Hamid Karzai airport and environs in the basement.
TBF to the WH the aid worker could have been an aid worker and an ISIS informer out of loyalty or fear.
Collateral damage.
"Democrats on the House Oversight Committee unanimously voted against surveying the equipment, paid for by American taxpayers, that was left behind in Afghanistan"
