RAEL’S COMMENT: that is how, in one attack, to create 42 terrorist as each of the family of the killed people will have, one day or another, one family member seeking revenge in the future. Especially with the middle east mentalities where vendetta of family revenges stay for years and even generations.That is why this old saying :”don’t touch the Afghans”. Only peace, love and diplomacy can decrease terrorism. Each bombing creates more.
Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) says a US attack on its clinic in the Afghan city of Kunduz killed at least 42 people – far more than first reported.
The medical charity had earlier said at least 30 people died in the 3 October attack by a US military gunship.
MSF said the figure was revised after a detailed investigation, complicated by the extensive damage to the clinic.
A US military inquiry said the attack was the result of “human error” but MSF has called it a war crime.
The charity is campaigning for an independent international inquiry into the bombardment, which took place as US-backed Afghan forces were battling to reverse the Taliban’s seizure of Kunduz.

A statement released by MSF on Saturday said the dead included 14 staff members, 24 patients, and four relatives of patients who were helping in their care.
The charity said it had carried out extensive efforts to identify the dead, interviewing staff members and patients and checking figures with other hospitals that treated MSF patients following the attack.
Many records held at the clinic had been destroyed in the initial attack, the charity said, and human remains had been found in the rubble of the hospital over the past two months.
