The U.S. 'Mistake' That Ruined An Afghan Hospital (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Early Saturday morning in Kunduz, Afghanistan, an American AC-130 gunship – “The Lord of Close Combat,” the Air Force calls it – rained sustained fire down on a hospital run by the international aid group Doctors Without Borders. Twenty-two patients and hospital staff died. A nurse reported patients in intensive care burned in their beds. Yesterday, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan took responsibility, said it was a mistake. But there is a lot we still don’t know. And Doctors Without Borders calls it a war crime. This hour On Point, what happened that night in Kunduz? – Tom Ashbrook
