U.N.: U.S. Airstrike on Kunduz Hospital in Afghanistan Could Be War Crime 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights said the bombing could be a war crime.

Ravina Shamdasani: "We absolutely condemn the attack against the
hospital in Kunduz. As we know, it was really the last remaining
hospital serving a need that was dire in the area. The attacks, you
know, against medical facilities could amount to a war crime."

Doctors without Borders has called for an independent investigation.
