The US admits in its new report that an airstrike on Karbala Airport in March 2020, targeting Iraqi militia fighters, also killed a civilian. We believe he was 23 year old security guard Karrar Sabbar. Why on earth can't Karrar's family now be compensated? (7)pic.twitter.com/tV02gabQNL

The US is far ahead of key allies in addressing civilian harm from its actions, and informing elected representatives of casualties. Despite shortcomings, we do therefore welcome publication of this latest report. But DoD can and must do better.
