WASHINGTON (AP) — Immediately after the U.S. killed at least 30 people in a devastating airstrike on a charity hospital, Afghanistan’s national security adviser told a European diplomat his country would take responsibility. The Afghans were convinced the hospital was occupied by Taliban.
That’s according to notes of the meeting reviewed by The Associated Press. But more than a month later, no evidence has emerged to support the Afghan assertion about the hospital run by Doctors Without Borders. Eyewitnesses tell the AP they saw no gunman at the hospital.
Instead, there are mounting indications that the U.S. military relied heavily on Afghan allies who resented the internationally run hospital. It did treat Afghan security forces and Taliban alike, but says it refused to admit armed men.
