US Military Claims “Human Error” Led to Afghan Hospital Bombing
By Joshua Krause
The US military has long claimed that their assault on the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital in Afghanistan was little more than an unfortunate mistake. However, the facts surrounding this incident seem to fly in the face of reason. The hospital had repeatedly made its presence known to Afghan and American forces in the lead up to their assault on the City of Kunduz, and they were bombed for over an hour as staff members called US officials, begging them to stop the attack. It’s no surprise that MSF immediately called the strike a “war crime” and demanded an international investigation.
