10th Mountain Division soldiers didn't rampage through an Afghan hospital, didn't tie up relatives of patients, says a military spokesman.

A spokesman for Central Command (CENTCOM) spoke to Fox News, responding to claims by a Swedish charity group.

The Swedish charity charged that 10th Mountain Division soldiers broke open doors of hospital rooms, restrained hospital workers and tied up the family members of several patients.

Capt. Jack Hanzlik told Fox News is isn't true.

The soldiers did enter the hospital while searching for an insurgent leader, he said. However, it was in cooperation with hospital staff and Afghan police and military.

One locked door was kicked in, again with permission from the hospital, he said. No one was tied up.

The insurgent was not found.
