...Local media originally reported the incident as a crash before confirming the plane was intentionally brought down. It has not yet been made clear what type of plane it was or how many people may have been aboard.

I haven't found any other info on this - some speculate there were refugees on board?

One wonders how many Taliban are secreted in amongst these “refugees” to be seeded throughout the rest of the world as sleeper cells…
Most of the “refugee” Pictures that I’ve seen are fighting age men. Just wondering…

Maybe, but likely Afghan military fleeing the Taliban. Only the west cares about refugees.

for the US and UK flights, they’re going to Qatar or darn, on the tip of my tongue, but anyway, a short hop out of country and second screening at temp destination. That’s the SOP anyway

That’s what I’ve read....their own military....escaping/leaving.

Worth repeating:

Create the chaos, and import the “refugees” just in time for the 20th anniversary.
