Afghan reporter Ali Latafi joined Yalda Hakim at the BBC to discuss the recent missile attack by Joe Biden that killed an Afghan family including several children in Kabul.
According to Latafi the family killed on Sunday by a US drone strike had Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) to leave for the US and were about to leave Afghanistan.
Reporter Ali Latafi: The family was expecting an SIV, they had received a call that a car would come and get you to the airport any day now. And that’s why there were so many people in the house. They had all relocated to that one house and were waiting to leave.
