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

It may have been ordered by some Afghani commander, since this is how it obviously works. Ground forces from one nation callling the US for air support Ironically, a similar incident happened back in 2009, when the German colonel Georg Klein ordered an airstrike on civilians, he believed to be Taliban. Kunduz was under German administration back then. It was a big scandal in Germany, but nothing came out of it. And I suspect, this will face a similar outcome.

Quote:Because of the high civilian death toll, the airstrike had political repercussions, especially in Germany. In June 2010 Germany announced it would pay $5,000 to each of the families of over 100 civilian victims, as an ex gratia payment without admitting liability.[2] The former Afghan Commerce Minister Amin Farhang described the $5,000—equivalent to about 20,000 Afghanis—as a "laughable" sum.[5] Earlier, Germany had reclassified the Afghanistan deployment as an "armed conflict within the parameters of international law", allowing German forces to act without risk of prosecution under German law.
