In fact, they struck a family that included an Afghan man who worked for a US aid group and seven children. "What we saw here was a breakdown in process, in execution and procedural events, not the result of negligence, not the result of misconduct, not the result of poor leadership," Mr Kirby said. The Pentagon promised to pay compensation and also to help relocate abroad family members and Afghans working for NEI, but that remains stuck on determining just who is qualified, according to officials.Mr Kirby said they are still discussing arrangements with Mr Kwon.
