Civilians were wounded, US admits
The top US commander in Afghanistan has confirmed villagers were wounded at the site of a Nato airstrike on hijacked fuel tankers that killed up to 70 people.
General Stanley McChrystal inspected the site where a fighter jet blasted the tankers seized by the Taliban in northern Kunduz province.
He also visited a hospital where the wounded have been taken and spoke with a 10-year-old boy with severe burns.
It remains unclear how many of the dead were militants and how many were villagers who rushed to siphon fuel from the stolen trucks.
A Nato team has begun an investigation.
McChrystal says it was clear that Afghan civilians were wounded in the airstrike. He did not say if any civilians died.
