| Source: Daily Islam, Translated by Jihad Unspun Mujahideen shoot down an American helicopter near Bagram killing 10- 15 commandos on board. According to details, an American helicopters carrying American commandos was shot down on Thursday near South East of Kabul. According to eyewitnesses, the Black Hawk H 60 was on its flight 20 km away from Bagram airbase when it was targeted. Black Hwak is an American transport plane used to transport military personnel and ordinance on a large scale. They clearly don't know their birds. According to Fox News, this helicopter has two pilots and two crew members, while it can hold up to 11 armed commandos for any guerilla offensive. It has been reported that all the American commandos on board have been killed. American central command’s spokesman has confirmed Jim Wilkinson has confirmed many deaths due to the crash of the helicopter. The helicopter was on a routine patrol when it was shot down and investigation is still underway. It should be noted that Bagram airbase is the largest American military base in Afghanistan which is used by American planes and helicopters on a large scale, daily. Funny thing is, each night when the base commander counts the number of helos and planes, they're all there safe and sound. Prior to this incident, Mujahideen have successfully shot down many American planes and helicopters while most of the times, American officials keep the events in darkness and withhold the actual number of casualties. The same American officials who can't keep secrets on virtually anything else. The jokers at Jihad Unspun couldn't even write a direct-to-video script. Sad to think that the local hard boys buy this swill. |
