Kunduz hospital attack: US forces did not act on MSF warnings for 17 min

US commander in Afghanistan blames human error and equipment failure for bombing that killed 30 people
US military commanders in Afghanistan took 17 minutes to act after being warned by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) that their aircraft was firing on a medical centre full of doctors and civilians, an internal investigation has found.

The US military said on Wednesday that the report demonstrated its commitment to accountability and that some of those most closely involved had been suspended from duty pending disciplinary action. But MSF dismissed it as raising more questions than answers and blamed the frightening catalogue of mistakes on “gross negligence”.

The medical charity has previously condemned the airstrike as a “war crime” and demanded an international investigation. The US has beenaccused of changing its version of events four times in the days after the incident, which is now the subject of three inquiries – by the US, Nato and Afghanistan.

The military’s findings were presented by Gen John Campbell, the US commander in Afghanistan. - Read More at the Guardian  - Médecins Sans Frontière
