Why Did U.S. And Coalition Forces Force Their Way Into The Destroyed 'Doctors Without Borders' Kunduz Hospital?



NBC: MSF: 'Potential Evidence' Was Destroyed by Vehicle at Kunduz Hospital

A vehicle containing U.S. personnel "destroyed potential evidence" on Thursday by forcing its way onto the ruined site of a hospital bombed by American forces in Afghanistan, the charity said.

Doctors Without Borders, which ran the facility in Kunduz, initially said the vehicle was a "U.S. tank," but later corrected its statement and said it was an armored vehicle without specifying a country.

The charity, which is also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), said in an emailed statement to NBC News that it had been informed the vehicle contained a delegation from a "U.S./NATO/Afghan investigation team" looking into the incident. It did not say who provided that information.

WNU Editor: With each passing day this case is giving the U.S. and its coalition partners a bigger black eye .... U.S. official: Doctors Without Borders 'did everything right' before airstrike (CNN). And while I do not know if the above report of the U.S./NATO team forcing their way onto the hospital grounds is true, it will not surprise me if they did. But what is even more disturbing is that both Washington and Kabul are stopping any independent investigation from happening .... Washington and Kabul Stand in the Way of International Probe Into Kunduz Attack (Foreign Policy).

WNU Editor,

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has to do anything in his power to cover up his premeditated bombing of another Nobel Peace Prize winner, c'ause the future in the dock at The Hague don't look good.

Sounds like not only is the US caught in a little of their own stuff (dead civilian collateral damage), but MSF's account is starting to stink too.

Do not believe a word of it, I do believe the Taliban were in the building and DWB knew it and could not do anything about it. Sounds very familiar to the Gaza UN school BS in which the UN denied it but evidence kept coming up showing what liars the UN were. I believe the DWB are lying through their teeth and have political motivations. Like I typed before, its a war, people die in war, they shouldn't be there if they did not understand that principle. I am tired of this pc bullshit.
