Related: About this forumWar Crime in Afghanistan?: Outrage After U.S. Airstrike on Hospital Kills 22 Patients & Staff
Published on Oct 5, 2015
Doctors Without Borders is demanding an independent international inquiry into a U.S. airstrike Saturday on an Afghan hospital in the city of Kunduz that killed 22 people, including 12 staff members and 10 patients, three of them children. At least three dozen people were injured. The attack continued for 30 minutes after the U.S. and Afghan militaries were informed by telephone that the hospital was being bombed. We speak with Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, who just returned from Kabul, Afghanistan; Gino Strada, co-founder of Emergency, an Italian NGO that provides free medical care to victims of war; and Dr. Hakim, a medical doctor who has provided humanitarian relief in Afghanistan for the last decade.

the USA. Could be my imagination, but the same people, usually the ones who defend a fascist dictatorship in Russia, seem to keep posting as many OPs about this as possible.

Second of all, clearly you can't find a way to defend the indefensible, so you keep interjecting this kind of BS into any thread on the topic.
