The United States Commander of International Forces says an air strike on a hospital in the northern city of Kunduz was a mistake.
It is now more than three weeks since the October 3 massacre by US military forces of medical personnel and patients at the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical center in Kunduz, Afghanistan. Aided by the media, the US military and the Obama administration are continuing their efforts to cover up and whitewash a war crime.
On Monday,
the Associated Press published a report providing further confirmation that the facility was targeted and bombed by US military personnel with full knowledge that it was a functioning hospital. The attack lasted for an hour, destroying the building and killing 30 people, including at least 13 MSF staff members and 10 patients.According to the AP, "A day before an American AC-130 gunship attacked the hospital,
a senior officer in the Green Beret [Army] unit wrote in a report that US forces had discussed the hospital with the country director of the medical charity group, presumably in Kabul, according to two people who have seen the document."
A report from "a senior Green Beret officer from 3rd Special Forces Group" on October 2 stated, "
MSF report that they have personnel in the trauma center," according to the AP, citing two sources who have seen the report.
Comment: This will probably raise Israel's ire.
