Air strike on hijacked tankers kills 90 in Afghanistan |
Up to 90 people were feared dead and wounded after a Nato air strike hit two fuel
tankers stolen by insurgents in northern Afghanistan. The blast was thought to
have burned alive villagers as they gathered to collect fuel from the tankers
when one became stuck in a river. Nato officials insisted the strike had killed
a large number of militants, but said they were investigating the reports that
civilians had died as well. The incident is the biggest accusation of civilian
deaths since General Stanley McChrystal took charge of Nato-led forces vowing
he was more interested in protecting Afghans than hunting the Taliban, The Telegraph
reports.
