CNN released a video disputing the Pentagon’s claims about the attack in Afghanistan Info

The video, which was exclusively published by CNN, is provocative doubts about what happened on August 26, 2021. at the entrance to the airport in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, when 13 US soldiers and approximately 170 Afghan civilians lost their lives after an attack claimed by the Islamic State.

A recording that is captured by a go-pro camera of a US Marine who was securing the area shows US military personnel taking up defensive positions near the airport while nearby sporadic gunfire is heard. As reported by the Italian agency Nova, the video shows that in the four minutes after the explosion, at least 11 firefights took placethat is far more of three simultaneous skirmishes that have recently taken place mentioned in the investigation on this case led by the US Department of Defense.

The Pentagon previously claimed that all the victims of that event were the result of a single explosion, and he attributed the testimony about the shooting to “general confusion”. But in casting doubt on the results of the investigation, CNN also cited several witnesses, including a dozen US soldiers who were at the scene, an Afghan doctor who claims he personally removed bullets from the bodies of the wounded, and local health workers who spoke of “dozens casualties” among Afghans due to gunshot wounds.

Soldiers and Afghan civilians interviewed by CNN said they heard nearly a dozen gunshots after the explosion. Witnesses also suggested that Afghan civilians may have been killed by US troops who believed they were under attack. The tape was never mentioned in the Pentagon investigation.

It’s the Pentagon later admitted that American and British soldiers had engaged in firefights, but a total of three, which, as said, happened almost simultaneously. According to information reported by CNN, British forces fired 25 or 30 warning shots and American soldiers fired two volleys at the suspected militants. In the video released by CNN, just 30 seconds after the explosion, at least 17 gunshots are heardfollowed by ten more sporadic exchanges of fire.
