 Sat Sep 02, 2006 1:20 pm 14 British Troops Die in Afghanistan |
|
| Quote: | Fourteen British service personnel have died after their aircraft crashed in Afghanistan, the MoD has said.
Twelve RAF personnel, a Royal Marine and an Army soldier were among those who died in the crash in the southern province of Kandahar.
The aircraft, believed to be a Chinook, belonged to the Nato-led force which has been fighting the Taleban.
UK Defence Secretary Des Browne said "all indications are that this was a terrible accident".
The crash is thought to be the biggest single loss of British troops in Iraq or Afghanistan since military operations began there in 2001.

I don't believe the British Military is lying. They have nothing to gain from that. Moral is already super low so it doesn't matter.

The ability to lie against the civilians, if you don't know what I mean, you should pay attention what the CIA does.
