WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On October 3, 2015, a US AC-130 gunship aircraft shot 30mm cannon shells for 30 minutes into a Doctors Without Borders hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz, killing more than 40 medical staff and patients, including children.
Doctors Without Borders called the attack a war crime.
"I can tell you that those individuals most closely associated with the incident have been suspended from their duties and were referred for administrative action," Sherwood stated on Thursday. "Some individuals were removed from theater."
Sherwood noted that the US authorities completed the investigation into the incident, and are preparing to release the report on the probe to the public.
"I do not have a timeline to provide other than to say we’re committed to a public release as soon as possible."
In late November 2015, US forces Commander in Afghanistan Gen. John Campbell told reporters the Kunduz bombing was an avoidable mistake caused by human error.
