Twelve local staff members of Doctors Without Borders and at least seven patients, three of them children, were killed after an explosion near their hospital in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz that may have been caused by a mistaken U.S. airstrike.
In a statement, the international charity said the "sustained bombing" took place Saturday at 2:10 a.m local time. Afghan forces backed by U.S. airstrikes have been fighting to dislodge Taliban insurgents who overran Kunduz on Monday.
At least 37 other people were seriously injured--19 staff members and 18 patients and caretakers, the organization said. Dozens were missing, raising concerns the death toll could rise.

This is a tragedy, but tragedies like this do happen.
One does have to wonder how the intel got so confused, but it just goes to show that we aren't really out of the wars in Iq and Af; the public has been lulled again, just like after Desert Storm...

It happens. Wished it wouldn't, But there is less and less collateral damage done in war as our tech advances... It's a shame that good and innocent people died, but again it happens.
