“No one (has contacted) with us to apologize,” Emal Ahmadi, whose toddler Malika was among seven children killed in the August 29 blast, told NBC News Saturday.

Ahmadi said he was surprised to hear that the U.S. had offered publicly apologized for the incident, since he had yet to hear from a single official himself.

However, he also said that an apology would not suffice. “I lost ten members of our family and the U.S. should pay,” he said.

“(The) U.S. should pay compensation for us and should transfer us from Kabul.”
