Various board showing operations samples \u003cbr/\u003eA Swedish charity accused American troops on Monday of storming through a hospital in central Afghanistan, breaking down doors and tying up staff in a search for militants. The US military said it was investigating.\u003cbr/\u003eThe allegation that soldiers violated the neutrality of a medical facility follows the reported deaths of Afghan civilians in a US airstrike in the country's north last week. \u003cbr/\u003eAn Afghan human rights group said on Monday the strike on two hijacked fuel tankers may have killed as many as 70 civilians in Kunduz province.\u003cbr/\u003eCivilian deaths and intrusive searches have bred resentment among the Afghan population nearly eight years after the US-led coalition invaded to oust the Taliban.\u003cbr/\u003eForeign forces are working to persuade the population to support the Afghan government after last month's presidential election, which has yet to be decided amid allegations of vote-rigging.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Monday, the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan said the US Army's 10th Mountain Division forced their way into the charity's hospital without permission to look for insurgents in Wardak province, southwest of Kabul.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This is a clear violation of internationally recognised rules and principles,\" said Anders Fange, the charity's country director adding that it also went against an agreement between NATO forces and charities working in the area.\u003cbr/\u003eThe US troops came to the hospital looking for Taliban insurgents late at night last Wednesday, Fange said \u003cbr/\u003eHe said soldiers kicked in doors, tied up four hospital guards and two people visiting hospitalised relatives, and forced patients out of beds during their search.\u003cbr/\u003eThey also barged into women's wards, he said, adding that strange men entering rooms where women were in beds was a serious insult to the local Pashtun culture and word of it could turn the community against international troops.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen they left two hours later, the soldiers ordered hospital staff to inform coalition forces if any wounded insurgents were admitted, and the military would decide if they could be treated, he said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe staff refused. Fange said informing on patients would put the staff at risk and make the hospital a target and he demanded guarantees the military would not enter hospitals without permission in future.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If the international military forces are not respecting the sanctity of health facilities, then there is no reason for the Taliban to do it either,\" he said. \"Then these clinics and hospitals would become military targets.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAbdul Wase, the hospital's administrator said that now the medical facility's female staff didn't want to stay overnight due to security concerns. \u003cbr/\u003e\"If the coalition forces enter the hospital without permission, then we cannot stay on duty,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eUS military spokeswoman Lieutenant Commander Christine Sidenstricker confirmed that the hospital was searched last week, but had no other details. She said the military was looking into the incident.\u003cbr/\u003eViolence has surged across much of Afghanistan since President Barack Obama ordered 21,000 more US troops to the country this year. \u003cbr/\u003eTwo foreign troops were killed on Sunday when their patrol hit a roadside bomb and a third died of wounded sustained in a separate gun battle with insurgents, NATO said without giving their nationalities. All three deaths were in volatile southern Afghanistan.\u003cbr/\u003eNATO was also investigating last week's US airstrike. The strike came despite new rules for foreign forces limiting use of airpower to avoid civilian casualties.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, insurgents killed more civilians in bombings and other attacks. \u003cbr/\u003eA United Nations report in July said the number of civilians killed in conflict in Afghanistan has jumped 24 percent this year, with bombings by insurgents and airstrikes by international forces the biggest killers. \u003cbr/\u003eThe report said 1,013 civilians were killed in the first half of 2009, 59 percent in insurgent attacks and 30.5 percent by foreign and Afghan government forces. The rest were undetermined.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
