| LASHKARGAH, Afghanistan -- A C-130 military cargo plane carrying the British ambassador to Afghanistan caught fire today as it landed in the country's volatile southern province of Helmand. Officials say one of the plane's tires burst upon landing -- sending debris into the engine and causing it to ignite. No one was hurt in the incident. |
