Nato pledges Afghan strike probe - BBC
Another glorious victory for our side.

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.” - Gandhi

Nato has promised a full investigation into an air strike on two fuel tankers that killed up to 90 people in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province.

The alliance said many Taliban insurgents who had hijacked the tankers were killed but it admitted it had reports of many civilian casualties.

The Nato-led forces said they regretted "any unnecessary loss of human life".

President Hamid Karzai said targeting civilians was "unacceptable" and announced his own investigation panel.
