Reuters: Medical aid group denies Taliban were firing from Afghan hospital hit by air strike
Medical aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres denied that Taliban fighters were firing from its hospital at Afghan and NATO forces before a suspected U.S. air strike killed at least 19 people in a battle to oust the Islamist insurgents from an Afghan city.
Fighting raged around the northern provincial capital of Kunduz for a seventh day as government forces backed by American air power seek to drive out Taliban militants who seized the city almost a week ago.
Decomposing bodies littered the streets and residents said that food was scarce.

As to the allegations that Taliban fighters were present in the hospital .... in the fog of war who knows what really happened .... the only thing that we know is that a hospital has been destroyed.

WNU Editor,
MSF has announced that due to the danger from the Afghan Army, Police and US Special Forces, they are pulling all medical operations from Kunduz Province.
As a result, if you are one of the 1.1 million Afghans in Kunduz Province, and need medical attention, you will have to go to the Taliban for that, as they are the only other Medical Service Provider.
