Doesn't that make headlines in America? Hospital bombing in Kunduz

[abaris]

So the US airforce bombed a doctors without borders hospital in Kunduz. They claim to have been under attack by Taliban from inside the hospital. Doctors without borders issued an unusally sharp response to that statement.

"MSF is disgusted by the recent statements coming from some Afghanistan government authorities justifying the attack on its hospital in Kunduz. These statements imply that Afghan and US forces working together decided to raze to the ground a fully functioning hospital – with more than 180 staff and patients inside – because they claim that members of the Taliban were present.

This amounts to an admission of a war crime. This utterly contradicts the initial attempts of the US government to minimise the attack as 'collateral damage'. There can be no justification for this abhorrent attack on our hospital that resulted in the deaths of MSF staff as they worked and patients as they lay in their beds.
