Emiratesvoice, emirates voice General: no bad decisions in Yemen raid, probe is over

U.S. Army Gen. Joseph Votel
Washington - Arab Today

The top US commander for the Middle East has told senators that he has completed an exhaustive review of the Yemen raid that killed a Navy SEAL, and has concluded there were no lapses in judgment or decision-making surrounding the operation.
Gen. Joseph Votel, who heads US Central Command, said he sees no need for additional investigations into the January mission that triggered a debate in Washington over what went wrong and whether important intelligence was actually gathered. It was the first military raid authorized by President Donald Trump.
Votel told the Senate Armed Services Committee that a separate investigation into potential civilian casualties found that between four and 12 innocent people were killed.
During the raid on Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants, US special operations forces came under heavy fire. Chief Special Warfare Officer William “Ryan” Owens was killed, six other American service members were injured and a helicopter was damaged.
Among the civilians killed was the 8-year-old daughter of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a radical cleric and US citizen who was targeted and killed by a drone strike in 2011.
Votel, who presided over an internal review, said he was “looking for information gaps where we cannot explain what happened in a particular situation or we have conflicting information between members of the organization. I am looking for indicators of incompetence or poor decision making or bad judgment throughout all this.”
In the end, he said: “I was satisfied that none of those indicators that I identified to you were present. I think we had a good understanding of exactly what happened on this objective and we have been able to pull lessons learned out of that, that we will apply in future operations.” He said there was no need for an additional investigation.
Votel added that he believes the US gained valuable information on Al-Qaeda militants.
Trump, who honored Owens’ widow during his speech to Congress last week, has repeatedly defended the raid as highly successful. He told Congress that it “generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.”
