"NPR Uncovers Pentagon Files Exposing Civilian Casualties in Baghdadi Raid"

NPR's investigation challenges the Pentagon's denial of civilian harm in the 2019 U.S. raid on ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The Pentagon now says it will review new information brought to light about the incident. The U.S. airstrikes targeted three men driving a van near Baghdadi's compound, killing two and gravely wounding one. Relatives of the men claim they were civilians, not militants. NPR obtained Pentagon documents that reveal flaws in the Pentagon's claims, including a lack of evidence that the men were combatants. Several Democratic members of Congress have called for a reinvestigation of the incident.
