#1 due to a technical malfunction...

My question is was the technical malfunction caused by poor maintenance or small arms fire?

The greatest probability would be technical malfunction due to "In'sallah" maintenance. That would be more likely than the talibunnies getting lucky and actually hitting anything they fired at. The reason they NEED roadside bombs is because they're such lousy shots.

#3 It is indeed the Will of Allah that the machine failed. Admitedly, it was also the Will of Allah that I perform the Preventative Maintenance ritual and the Inspection of 100 Hours Flight Time. Alas, I am but a weak man with human failings and did not do so. But perhaps that is also the Will of Allah. God is Great.
