KABUL, February 08 (Online): A source close to the Afghan government has held United States troops responsible for crash of a passenger plane. Talking to Radio Tehran on condition of anonymity told that the KAM AIR, which was on its way from Herat to Kabul did not land at Kabul airport due to bad weather.

The pilot of the plane wanted to land at Bagram airbase where the US forces have been stationed; however, the US troops did not allow the plane to land.

The source further told that the staff of the plane had informed the US troops at Bagram airbase that it could remain in air for only fifteen minutes. That is why necessary for the plane to land but the US forces did not allow it which caused its crash. Consequently 104 passengers were killed on board the plane.


According to a report of VoA on Monday, Hamid Karzai, Afghan president has assured the relatives of the victims that a probe committee has been constituted to get the reason behind the terrible incident that killed 104 persons on board the plane. United Nations has also welcomed the formation of the committee by the Afghan government.

Hey, as long as Hamid Karzai is on the job average Iraqis have nothing to worry about, right?

Assuming this story is credible, it's understandable that a US Airbase would be hesitant to allow a plane to land, though it's certainly unfortunate for the victims and families.
