Utenriksminister Tony Blinken innrømmet på spørsmål fra senator Rand Paul tirsdag at de ikke aner om de drepte en hjelpearbeider eller en IS-K-kriger.

New York Times skrev at det var en hjelpearbeider som ble drept og syv barn. Nå innrømmer Blinken at det kan stemme. De vet ikke positivt at det var en IS-K.

«The guy the Biden administration droned, was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?» Paul asked, referencing a New York Times report that found that the vehicle struck was driven by U.S. aid group worker Zemari Ahmadi, one of 10 people the Times said died in the attack.

«The administration is of course reviewing that strike and I’m sure that a full assessment will be forthcoming,» Blinken said, leading Paul to press the issue.

«So you don’t know if it was an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?» the senator asked. When Blinken said he could not speak to that in the setting they were in, Paul asked, «So you don’t know or won’t tell us?»

«I don’t know because we’re reviewing it,» Blinken admitted.

Ville det ikke være bedre å finne ut hvem som er målet på forhånd og ikke etter at vedkommende er drept, spurte Paul.
