Spokesman: Coalition accidentally bombed Yemen hospital
CAIRO -- An internal investigation committee said on Tuesday that the Saudi-led military coalition accidentally bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Yemen, which killed 19 people and forced the international group to pull out from northern Yemen.
Mansour al-Mansour, the committee spokesman, said that an inquiry into the August bombing of the MSF hospital in the northern city of Abs showed that the coalition has received intelligence that rebel leaders were gathering north of the hospital. After bombing the site of the meeting, a warplane tracked a car that headed southward near the hospital. He said that the hospital building had no clear markings.
Mansour in his report suggested the coalition should apologize, offer assistance to those impacted by the bombing, and hold those responsible accountable.
