The disclosure of the non-judicial punishments will come during the release of the findings of a U.S. military investigation into the incident, which will broadly conclude that the strike was a tragic mistake, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.  (Reporting by Phil Stewart; Editing by Jonathan Oatis) SEE ALSO: Doctors Without Borders has released details about the US airstrike that hit its hospital in Afghanistan   Share the latest business news with your network: Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
