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.

Don't think it was intentional on our part. And it is not like the Taliban do not use hospitals, schools and similar places for their own purposes.

19 doctors providing humanitarian services wiped out in one fell swoop. I wonder who'll accept responsibility?
