Afghan hospital blast toll rises

The number of people killed when U.S. forces bombed a trauma hospital in northern Afghanistan this month has risen to 30, the international medical charity Doctors Without Borders, which ran the clinic, said Sunday. The toll includes “10 known patients, 13 known staff and seven unrecognizable bodies,” the organization said in a statement. The clinic in Kunduz was bombed by U.S. forces on Oct. 3. The bombing happened as Afghan forces with U.S. air support battled to retake Kunduz from Taliban fighters who overran the city on Sept. 28 and held it for three days. Two military inquiries and an Afghan government probe are investigating why the hospital was bombed. President Obama has apologized.
