Crew Members

Reuters  |  Posted: 04/29/2013


KABUL, April 29 (Reuters) - Seven crew members of a U.S.-run cargo plane were killed on Monday when their plane crashed shortly after take off from Bagram air base near the Afghan capital Kabul, the cargo operator told Reuters.

The Taliban in a statement claimed responsibility for the crash, but NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said there were no reports of insurgent activity in or around the base, which is one of the largest in the country and located about 40 km (25 miles) north of Kabul.

"We did lose all seven crew members," a spokeswoman for National Air Cargo told Reuters by telephone from Florida, where the company is located. The nationalities of the crew members were not immediately clear.

The district governor for Bagram, Abdul Shukor, described the plane as having reached an altitude of about 400 m (1312 feet) before suddenly "falling out of the sky", he said, citing witness accounts.

The crash came two days after four U.S. service members were killed when their surveillance aircraft in southern Afghanistan crashed due to bad weather. (Reporting by Amie Ferris-Rotman and Mirwais Harooni; Editing by Michael Roddy)

No matter how you twist it, shooting Women and children and babies in their sleep in the night, can never ever be justifiable.

I never see anyone work so hard to be on a watch list.

 

The point is this  is a war, a justified war to remove some of the worse ever on the planet from power. That the society does not prosper given it received more hand outs and more direct aid infrastructural aid than any other on the planet reflects on the society. It is chronically dysfunctional and the US needs to leave them to their anti modernist drift.

 

Where is it that the US goes out to kill women and children asleep or awake? Have you posted any of the direct targeting by the Taliban over the past week or month or year? Well, as expected you do not see the atrocious cruelty of those who constitute the deliberate cause of 90% of all the deaths there. You only see your narrow jehadist sympathies.

On the positive side of this.

Our children,grandchildren and the women from Afghanistan and other parts would be a bit safer when there are no more mudheads around to disrupt their lives.
