US to investigate Kunduz hospital bombing
04.10.2015
Obama said the US was investigating the incident, in which 19 people were killed and 37 injured on Saturday during a bombing on a hospital operated by medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Kunduz.
"On behalf of the American people, I extend my deepest condolences to the medical professionals and other civilians killed and injured in the tragic incident at a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz," he said in a statement released by the White House.
"The Department of Defense has launched a full investigation, and we will await the results of that inquiry before making a definitive judgment as to the circumstances of this tragedy.
"We will continue to work closely with President (Ashraf) Ghani, the Afghan government and our international partners to support the Afghan National Defense and Security forces as they work to secure their country."
