The Taliban has claimed responsibility for setting hundreds of fuel tanker trucks on fire in a parking lot on the outskirts of Kabul.

The incident prompted angry truck drivers to block a major highway to demand reimbursement for their losses.

Hundreds of other drivers stood by helplessly on Saturday morning, unable to salvage any property as flames and smoke rose from the area and several fire engines rushed to the site.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the militants were targeting fuel tankers belonging to NATO forces.
