Afghan investigators say that nearly 100 people, including 30 civilians, were killed in a NATO air strike in northern Afghanistan this month.

The air strike was called in by German troops on two hijacked fuel tankers on September the 4th.

President Hamid Karzai said last week the air strike was a major "error of judgment" and sent his own commission to the area to investigate.

The incident was the first in which Western forces were accused of killing large numbers of civilians since June.

The strike has drawn domestic and international criticism. NATO has yet to finish its investigation but acknowledges that some civilians were killed.
