Of course. RT's report agrees with that of every other mainstream media source.
It's absolutely tragic that the planners of the strike chose to strike in a residential area- knowing full well that a car-load of suicide bombers would be packed with explosives.
Absolutely dumbass planning- in line with everything else about this Kabul clusterfuck.

I used to work for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Texas- Station K!
As a new employee, I remember getting the tour which included a tour of the Security Enforcement areas, and a spokesman that Represented the Security Forces advised us, "If someone attacked our Bank and Tried to Rob the bank, they would try their best to avoid harming any of the employees with friendly fire or even if employees were taken as hostages they would first try to negotiate with precaution, BUT WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES OR PROMISES"!
May not be a good analogy- But- I don't know- perhaps it may explain how things work for the better good!
Sometimes, people- innocent people will die in a war on terrorism and terrorists- sometimes it can be avoided- sometimes it can't.
But these terrorists killed 13 or our soldiers and 180 afghan citizens already- and if we were to just not go after them- THESE SAME TERRORISTS WOULD HAVE KILLED THOUSANDS OF MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE!
It gets worse. The BBC reports, with witnesses and video evidence of the wrecked car, that there were no suicide bombers at all. The rocket struck a civilian vehicle as it entered a private yard and was being greeted by children. Major fuck-up looks extremely likely.

Verified. No suicide bombers. A family slaughtered.

Hello moon,
I don't know what happened there. The tidbits of information that we get on the other side of the planet are sketchy at best.
One thing I do know is that ISIS and Taliban people are not stupid. They are not going to keep their military operations isolated from residential where they are easy clean targets. I don't know if we can believe the Pentagon when they say they take the utmost care in trying to avoid civilian casualties. But I would certainly not put it past these terrorist groups to put explosives in a residential home with a family.
We also do not know what the outcome would have been if we had not blown up that car.
We do not know how many people, families and children would have died if that terrorist attack had been carried out.
It is a very difficult decision to select targets. And there isn't always as much time as one would like to make those decisions. I'm sure they would like to have credible information with no unknowns, but that is probably rare in the real world.

PoliTalker- the BBC confirms that there were no bombers. Survivors have been interviewed, the location filmed. It was a horrendous error. The car of an innocent family was targeted. All talk of secondary explosions are stumblebum military smoke-screening of a slaughter. Sorry.
One of the dead was working with the US military. Him and his family, including the seven dead kids, all had the paperwork for extraction to the US.
This is what cost NATO the war- crass, trigger-happy, callous stupidity. It was the same in Iraq. Julian Assange is in jail for pointing that out.
