| Quote: | | There are differing accounts about whether there had been fighting around the hospital that could have led to the airstrike, notes the New York Times. Hospital staff say there was no fighting nearby and no Taliban fighters in the hospital. But a police spokesman contends Taliban fighters were opening fire from the hospital. “The hospital treated the wounded from all sides of the conflict, a policy that has long irked the Afghan security forces,” notes the Times. |

Afghan forces who reported being under Taliban fire requested the U.S. airstrike that killed 22 people at a medical clinic in northern Afghanistan over the weekend, the top commander of American and coalition forces in Afghanistan said Monday, correcting an initial U.S. statement that the strike had been launched because U.S. forces were threatened.
