WASHINGTON: -- The Pentagon has announced it will seek to compensate those injured and the families of those killed in a US air strike on a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

On Wednesday (October 7), President Barack Obama made a formal apology to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the aid organisation running the facility when it was struck.

At least 22 staff and patients were killed in the bombing. The US says it was a mistake and claims Taliban insurgents were the intended target of the strike.

According to MSF, 33 staff members and patients remain unaccounted for.

The Pentagon says money is also available to repair the hospital.

Just send us an itemized invoice...put it on our bill...we will in due time take care of this...

This is the MO for high level wrong doing in the US...seldom do banks and bankers, wall street, or Congress do any time for their crimes...they just pay...sometimes billions of tax payers dollars...and the Justice Dept. just looks the other way...no harm no foul...call it even...try not to get caught next time...

I suspect there is much more to this story...than we will ever know...

I wonder how the payments will stack up against the monies received by the victims of the Bangkok bombing?
