Maj. Gen. William Hickman will lead the investigation conducted by three senior officers outside of his command and supported by two brigadier generals.
The latest numbers released by Doctors Without Borders indicate that at least 13 hospital workers and 10 patients were killed after an AC-130 gunship bombed the trauma center in Kunduz days after it was overrun by the Taliban.
According to Campbell, a civilian casualty assessment “determined that the reports of civilian casualties were credible.”
However, Doctors Without Borders is still analyzing the aftermath of the incident which it has publically declared a war crime.
“Efforts are ongoing to determine the identities of seven other unrecognizable bodies found in the wreck of the hospital, all of whom have now been buried,” the organization said in a statement released Saturday.
