Kunduz hospital airstrike
On 3 October 2015 a United States Air Force AC-130U gunship attacked the Kunduz Trauma Centre operated by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (English name: Doctors Without Borders) in the city of Kunduz, in the province of the same name in northern Afghanistan. It has been reported that at least 30 people were killed and over 30 were injured.〔( Sydney Morning Herald (October 26 2015) )〕〔( "Aghanistan: Death toll from the MSF hospital attack in Kunduz still rising", MSF news release (23 October 2015) )〕〔〔
Médecins Sans Frontières condemned the incident, stating that all warring parties had been notified of the hospital's location ahead of time, and that the airstrike was deliberate, a breach of international humanitarian law and MSF is working on the presumption of a war crime.〔(Doctors Without Borders Enraged Over 'Deliberate' Kunduz Hospital Bombing ). ''The Huffington Post,'' 6 October 2015.〕
The United States military initially stated the airstrike was carried out to defend U.S. forces on the ground. Later, the United States commander in Afghanistan, General John F. Campbell, stated the airstrike was requested by Afghan forces who had come under Taliban fire. Campbell stated that the attack was "a mistake", saying "We would never intentionally target a protected medical facility."〔 Campbell stated that the airstrike was a US decision, made in the US chain of command.〔http://www.nytimes.com/video/world/middleeast/100000003960724/commander-discusses-hospital-airstrike.html〕
On 7 October 2015, President Barack Obama issued a rare apology. Three investigations have been begun into the incident by NATO, a joint United States-Afghan group, and the United States Department of Defense, all of which are conducted by United States government and military officials. Doctors without Borders has called for an international and independent probe, stating that the armed forces who carried out the airstrike cannot conduct an impartial investigation of their own actions.〔
