Call for hospital bombing inquiry

MÉDECINS Sans Frontières (MSF) called yesterday for an independent international fact-finding commission to be established to investigate the US bombing of its hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, which it deems a war crime. The medical charity said the commission, which can be set up at the request of a single state under the Geneva Convention, would gather facts and evidence from the US, Nato and Afghanistan. Only then would MSF decide whether to bring criminal charges.
