#1 Who says they weren't careful? I trust none of them, and wouldn't rule out premeditated mischief.

#2 To ensure I am clear, I am speaking of the Afghanis. NOT the US forces. Condolences to MSF.

#3 How do you think that the doc's were able to work while surrounded by terrorist who reject western medicine? One hypothesis: They agreed to be human shields. If true then that was a poor choice.

I will be interested in learning the details about what actually happened.

#4 I'm guessing the airstrike was next door and the blast set fire to one of the hospital buildings. There is no shortage of easily combustible items in a hospital.

From the photos I saw, the fire gutted building had a lot shrapnel damage to the exterior wall, but no blasted outward roof or walls.

#5 I'm guessing the airstrike was next door.

Should have used a Small Diameter Smart Bomb?
