NATO did not confirm the cause of the crash but it comes as Afghan forces -- backed by NATO special forces and US air support -- pushed into the centre of the northern city of Kunduz which was captured by the Taliban on Monday.

"Our mujahideen have shot down a four-engine US aircraft in Jalalabad," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Twitter.

"Based on credible information 15 invading forces and a number of puppet troops were killed."

Probably some of the AA shoulder fired munitions that passed through Turkey as part of the Benghazi disaster

Sounds like it could be a repeat for the Russians like they faced in Afghanistan with Helicopters etc.

Syrians are not as wiley, probably not

Hillary rode herd (LOL Freudian slip) on the rodeo, use the non official - official buildings & flag for cover of a huge movement of arms from Libyan stocks through Turkey to supply “Freedom Fighters” (BS - CIA Ops to topple Assad and install a Muzzie leader.

Israel is the Stone in the shoe of virtually every Muslim extant, and the blood feud dating back to Abraham, Issac and Ishmael is about to be settled

Oy Vey, how about something other than popcorn

Shalom

....”confirming that 11 people including six US soldiers were killed in the crash”.....

And here we go again fighting for these people....I'm so very sick and tired of our soldiers life's being taken from them and their families so that the Afghans can beat, abuse, rape and kill their families.

'Before' the Taliban....Afghan women standing outside Kabul’s International Airport 1967....When men and women lived FREE in Afghanistan.....
