Many die in Afghan tanker blast

At least 90 people have been killed after a Nato air strike blew up two fuel tankers hijacked by the Taliban in Kunduz province, officials say.

The governor of Kunduz told the BBC that senior Taliban commanders were killed in the huge blast. Witnesses said villagers also died.
