Aid Group: NATO, Afghan Forces Attacked Medical Clinic

HeadlineDec 07, 2012

A medical aid organization is accusing U.S.-led NATO and Afghan forces of attacking and occupying a clinic in Afghanistan. The Swedish Committee for Afghanistan says NATO and Afghan soldiers raided the group’s Wardak province clinic in October and used it as a jail and command center. During the attack, the invading forces allegedly damaged the clinic’s building and equipment while preventing staffers from carrying out their duties. The Swedish Committee says it has raised the issue with NATO as a potential violation of the Geneva Conventions.
