Obama apologizes for Kunduz attack, MSF demands independent probe
[REUTERS] U.S. President Barack ObamaI am the change that you seek... on Wednesday apologized to Medecins Sans Frontieres for the deadly bombing of its hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, while the medical charity pressed its demand for an international commission to investigate what it calls a war crime. MSF said that an independent humanitarian commission created under the Geneva Conventions in 1991 should be activated for the first time to handle the inquiry. Three investigations have already begun into Saturday's air strike that killed 22 people, including 12 MSF staff. Obama telephoned MSF, or Doctors Without Borders, International President Joanne Liu to apologize and express his condolences, White House front man Josh Earnest said. Asked whether Obama offered some explanation to Liu, Earnest said no. Posted by: Fred 2015-10-08 |
