France and Luxembourg have led EU criticism of Nato tactics in Afghanistan after a German-mandated bombing raid killed scores of people. German Nato forces in the Kunduz region in northern Afghanistan on Friday (4 September) called in the strike by a US F-15 jet after Taliban fighters seized two fuel trucks and began distributing free petrol to local villagers.The Afghan government said 60 people died, including "some" civilians. Meanwhile, tribal chiefs told DPA journalists on the ground that 150 people, many of them civilians, lost their lives.
