Washington, October 7 (RHC)-- The U.S. commander in Afghanistan has altered the U.S. account of the bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, for the fourth time in as many days, acknowledging U.S. Special Operations Forces, not Afghan allies, called in the attack.
The bombing killed 10 patients and 12 medical staff members. General John Campbell said while Afghans requested air cover, enabling an airstrike requires "a rigorous U.S. procedure."
The New York Times reports General Campbell has privately said U.S. troops likely violated their own rules when they called in the airstrike.
