Obama apologizes to aid group for US attack on Afghan clinic
President Barack Obama on Wednesday apologized to Doctors Without Borders for the American air attack that killed at least 22 people at a medical clinic in Afghanistan and said the US would examine military procedures to determine whether changes could prevent such incidents.
Obama's apology came four days after the facility in the northern city of Kunduz came under fire from what was later determined to be a US aircraft. The attack outraged aid groups and complicated US efforts in Afghanistan.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama called the organization's international president, Joanne Liu, and offered condolences to the group's staff.
