The quashing of the rebellion at Qala-i-Jhangi fort in Afghanistan has raised questions on the circumstances surrounding the deaths of hundreds of Taliban fighters and the role played by British and US forces in the killings.
Mary Robinson, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, stepped up the pressure on Britain and the US over the killings when she called for an inquiry into the deaths. The human rights group Amnesty International also called for an inquiry, an appeal supported by several British politicians, but which neither Washington nor London has yet answered.
The Northern Alliance said it would allow human rights groups to investigate the treatment of Taliban prisoners.
