WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — A $50,000 reward will be given for video footage or other relevant information about the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital bombing by US forces in Afghanistan on Saturday, the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks said in a statement on Thursday.
"We are raising a US $50,000 bounty to obtain the footage, the cockpit audio, the inquiry report and other relevant materials such as the Rules of Engagement active at the time," WikiLeaks said.
On Saturday, a hospital in Kunduz, with some 200 people inside, was hit by an hour-long series of US aerial bombing raids, injuring at least 37 and killing 22 people, including MSF staff and children.
The organization described the bombing as a "suspected war crime."
The MSF has previously called the bombing a war crime and called for an independent investigation of the tragedy.
US President Barack Obama spoke by telephone with MSF International President Joanne Liu on Wednesday and apologized to her for the attack.
The White House refused, however, to label the attack as a war crime since the bombing remains under investigation, and does not support an international independent investigation into the tragedy.
