Hôpital de Médecins Sans Frontières frappé par les États-Unis: une erreur reconnaît le Général Cambell

Le Commandant des troupes américaines et alliées en Afghanistan témoignait devant le Congrès. Il a reconnu la bourde américaine et avancé des propositions pour qu'un tel événement ne se reproduise plus.

 "“A hospital was mistakenly struck,” Campbell said in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. “We would never intentionally target a protected medical facility.”

To prevent similar incidents in the future, Campbell said his forces would undergo “in-depth training” to review rules of engagement governing the current mission in Afghanistan.

Campbell said a full accounting of the weekend incident, which occurred as U.S. forces sought to support an Afghan government attempt to reclaim the city of Kunduz, the first major Afghan city to fall to the Taliban since the war began in 2001, would be available after a Pentagon investigation. He declined to give a timeline for that probe."
