New evidence that US Army deliberately targeted hospital in Kunduz

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.”
