 A Swedish charity accused American troops Monday of searching a hospital in
central Afghanistan, tying up security guards and breaking into female
wards, which is offensive to local Islamic customs.

Anders Fange, the country director of the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan,
accused troops of breaking down doors, searching patients' relatives and
entering the ultrasound room.

U.S. military spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Christine Sidenstricker confirmed that
the hospital was searched last week but had no other details.

Civilian deaths and intrusive searches have bred resentment among the Afghan
population nearly eight years after the U.S.-led coalition invaded to oust
the Taliban's hard-line Islamist regime for sheltering Al Qaeda terrorist
leaders.
