Three months later, it confirmed the airstrike down to the exact coordinates of Mubarez’s house in the small hamlet of Mullah Hafiz. But Raz Mohammad Hemat Wazir, the district governor, said that the airstrike on Mubarez’s house killed 12 civilians, including women and children. For people who live in a village under Taliban control, like Mullah Hafiz, confirming that there was gunfire would leave them open to Taliban retribution. Mubarez, whose house is roughly 150 yards from the Taliban prison, said that the Taliban denied entering his house. A day after the strike, Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, accused the Americans of killing 12 members of Mubarez’s family, all civilians.
