Germany to compensate Afghan families for Kunduz strike

Source: BBC News

Germany will pay $5,000 (3,800 euros, �3,150) each to families of people killed or injured in an air strike near the Afghan town of Kunduz.

The families of 91 Afghans killed and those of 11 injured in the attack last September are to receive compensation.

The strike on two fuel tankers hijacked by the Taliban was ordered by a German commander and killed up to 142 people.

It caused outrage in Germany, forcing the resignations of a former defence minister and the army chief of staff.
