Pentagon to Pay Victims of U.S. Airstrike on Afghanistan Hospital 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Pentagon is offering "condolence payments" to people injured and the
family members of those killed by a U.S. airstrike on a Doctors Without
Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. The strike killed 12 medical
staff and 10 patients, while 33 people remain missing. Doctors Without
Borders has called for an investigation under the Geneva Conventions
into a possible war crime.
