 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - The U.S. military said Monday that an investigation into an explosion that destroyed five fuel tankers parked outside its main base in southern Afghanistan was an accident, not the result of a Taliban attack.
At least three drivers were injured in the blast early Sunday, and Afghan officials were quick to blame Taliban rebels.
But U.S. military spokeswoman Lt. Cindy Moore said the blast, which sent plumes of black smoke billowing over Kandahar, was caused by "faulty fuel tanks."
