Many die in Afghan tanker blasts

Scores of people are reported killed after a Nato air strike blew up two fuel tankers hijacked by the Taliban in northern Afghanistan.

The governor of Kunduz province told the BBC that Taliban leaders were among at least 90 killed. Witnesses said locals taking fuel also died.

Nato said its commanders believed only insurgents were present but that it had reports many civilians were injured.

Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said an investigation was under way.
