MSF: U.S. Tank 'Destroyed Potential Evidence' at Kunduz Hospital

A U.S. tank "destroyed potential evidence" by forcing its way onto the ruined site of a hospital bombed by American forces in Afghanistan, the charity said.
Doctors Without Borders, which ran the facility in Kunduz, said the tank's "unannounced and forced entry" through the gates had also frightened staff and damaged property.
The charity,which is also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), said in an emailed statement to NBC News that it had been informed the tank contained a delegation from a "U.S./NATO/Afghan investigation team" looking into the incident. It did not say who provided that information.
The allegations came almost two weeks after a U.S. AC-130 gunship bombed the compound, killing at least 22 people including 12 members of staff.
