Amnesty International calls for investigation into US airstrike that killed family of ten in Kabul

Amnesty international has called for a credible and transparent investigation into the drone strike near Kabul airport on Sunday, which reportedly killed 10 members of the same family, including six children.
 
The US initially reported that there had been no civilian casualties in the strike against a vehicle it said was carrying at least one person associated with the Afghan branch of the Islamic State group.
 
It has since said it is investigating reports of civilian deaths.
 
Paul O'Brien, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, said the US has a responsibility to the families of those killed to name the dead, acknowledge its actions, investigate and provide reparations.
 
A relative of the victims told the BBC the strike was based on wrong information.
