Three aid workers killed in Afghan hospital bombing

Doctors Without Borders says three of its staff were killed in an overnight bombing of a hospital in the embattled Afghan city of Kunduz.
NATO said a US air strike “may have” hit the hospital, which is run by the medical charity, adding that the attack may have resulted in collateral damage.
The MSF hospital is seen as a key medical lifeline in the region, which has been running “beyond capacity” in recent days of fighting which saw the Taliban seize control of the provincial capital for several days.
“At 2:10 am (20:40 GMT) local time… the MSF trauma centre in Kunduz was hit several times during sustained bombing and was very badly damaged,” MSF said in a statement.
