The Pentagon has reversed itself over a drone strike last month in Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians.

五角大樓已經改變了上個月在阿富汗造成10名平民死亡的無人機襲擊事件。

AP's Sagar Meghani reports.

美聯社的 Sagar Meghani 報導。

Days after the strike, Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley had said it was a valid attack against an Islamic State extremist.

襲擊發生幾天後,參謀長聯席會議主席馬克米利表示,這是對伊斯蘭國極端分子的有效襲擊。

"... and it was a righteous strike." But a Pentagon investigation now shows it was something different. "... the strike was a tragic mistake."

「……而且是正義的一擊。」但五角大樓的一項調查現在表明情況有所不同。「……罷工是一個悲劇性的錯誤。」

General Frank McKenzie who heads U.S. Central Command says the military believed it struck a vehicle that posed an imminent threat to forces at Kabul's airport.

美國中央司令部負責人弗蘭克·麥肯齊將軍表示,軍方認為它擊中了一輛對喀布爾機場部隊構成迫在眉睫的威脅的車輛。

"... we now assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with ISIS-K, or a direct threat to U.S. forces."

「……我們現在評估,這輛車和死者不太可能與 ISIS-K 有關聯,也不太可能對美軍構成直接威脅。」

It was the final strike of America's longest war and Mackenzie says the U.S. is considering reparation payments to the victims' families.

這是美國最長戰爭的最後一次罷工,麥肯齊表示,美國正在考慮向受害者家屬支付賠償金。

Sagar Meghani, Washington. Advisers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have rejected recommending widespread use of a third dose of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine.AP's Ed Donahue reports.

Sagar Meghani,華盛頓。美國食品和藥物管理局的顧問拒絕建議廣泛使用輝瑞公司的第三劑冠狀病毒疫苗。美聯社的 Ed Donahue 報導。

The vote was 16 to 2 against three doses, a setback for the White House. Adviser Dr. Michael Kurilla says they need more data. "I think we need to target the boosters right now, but specifically to the people who are likely to be at high risk, and it's an older population, it's immunocompromised."

投票結果是 16 比 2 反對三劑,這對白宮來說是一個挫折。顧問 Michael Kurilla 博士說他們需要更多數據。「我認為我們現在需要針對助推器,但特別是那些可能處於高風險中的人,而且這是一個老年人群,他們的免疫功能低下。」

And the advisers later voted to recommend the extra dose to those people. Adviser Dr. Amanda Cohn at the CDC says the focus should stay on two doses. "...it is clear that the unvaccinated are driving transmission."

顧問們後來投票決定向這些人推薦額外的劑量。疾病預防控制中心的顧問阿曼達·科恩博士說,重點應該放在兩劑上。「……很明顯,未接種疫苗的人正在推動傳播。」

The Biden administration was hoping for the three-dose recommendation to shore up protection from the Delta variant. Ed Donahue, Washington. A down day on Wall Street, with the Dow Jones Industrials losing 0.48 percent, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ dropped by 0.91 percent.

拜登政府希望通過三劑推薦來加強對 Delta 變體的保護。埃德多納休,華盛頓。華爾街下跌一天,道瓊工業指數下跌 0.48%,標準普爾 500 指數和納斯達克指數下跌 0.91%。
