he U.S. military said early Saturday morning that an airstrike in Kuduz, Afghanistan, may have accidentally damaged a Doctors Without Borders hospital in the city.

“U.S. forces conducted an airstrike in Kunduz city at 2:15am (local), Oct. 3, against individuals threatening the force. The strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility,” U.S. Army Colonel Brian Tribus, a spokesman for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement forwarded to TheBlaze. “This incident is under investigation.”

The strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility,” U.S. Army Colonel Brian Tribus, a spokesman for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement forwarded to TheBlaze.

Given that the hospital was treating wounded people no matter which side they were on, could the bombing of the hospital been deliberate?

"This incident is under investigation.”

Yes, the pallets with barrels of whitewash are being received as Col. Tribus spoke!
