“No nation does more to prevent civilian casualties than the United States, but we failed to meet our own high expectations on October 3. This was a tragic but avoidable accident, caused primarily by human error,” Campbell said.
On October 3, a US AC-130 gunship shot 30mm cannon shells for 30 minutes into a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan killing at least 22 medical staff and patients, including three children. Another 24 people are still missing and are believed dead.
