An Afghan lawmaker has publicly criticized the US military for using a helicopter gunship to attack a medical clinic in eastern Afghanistan where an injured Taliban leader had reportedly sought treatment. Afghan Parliamentarian Khalid Faroqi said, “There must have been another way or tactic to use to get to him without destroying the hospital.” The US military said its troops only opened fire on the clinic after they were fired on and had ensured there were no civilians inside. Amnesty International has urged NATO forces to launch an investigation into the attack.
