Nato airstrikes kill 90 people
including many civilians. Imagine bombing two hijacked gas tankers.
There must be punishment for these war criminals.

Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan, and Istanbul, Turkey -- In an incident that could seriously undermine the central U.S. aim in Afghanistan, dozens of civilians were killed or injured early Friday in a NATO airstrike, Afghan authorities said.

The predawn strike on a pair of hijacked fuel tankers in a remote part of northern Kunduz province killed more than 70 people, most of them civilians, according to Afghan police, provincial officials and doctors.

Dozens of villagers suffered serious burns in the massive fireball ignited when the tankers were hit, they said.

4. "There must be punishment for these war criminals." Who exactly are these war criminals?
"War criminal" is the favorite term that those who oppose war hang on those who fight wars.
