“The insurgents appeared to be well-equipped, trained and rehearsed, officials said. Dressed in U.S. Army uniforms and armed with automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests, the insurgents attacked coalition fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft parked on the flight line, aircraft hangars and other buildings…”-American Forces Press Service, U.S. Department of Defense
The latest U.S. Defense Department report says the attack on Camp Bastion not only killed several U.S/ISAF/NATO personnel, but damaged helicopters, destroyed at least six AV-8B Harriers, damaged two other Harriers (current users of the Harrier are USMC, Italy & Spain), destroyed three refueling stations, damaged hangers, etc.
The DoD report conflicts with ISAF’s report concerning Mujahideen casualties. ISAF claims 18 Mujahideen killed, the U.S. DoD says 14.
Mujahideen claimed their goal was to eliminate Red Coat Prince Harry.
A U.K. Ministry of Defence statement admitted damage to the base was “significant” and a “clearance operation” was underway.
ISAF is now reporting that Afghan police forces in Zabul Province have shot and killed four U.S./ISAF/NATO personnel: “Four International Security Assistance Force service members died today in southern Afghanistan following an insider attack suspected to involve members of the Afghan police.”
In Helmand Province, two Red Coats (British empire thugs) were shot and killed by an Afghan cop. Three other Red Coats were wounded before the cop was killed by return fire.
Hundreds of protestors have taken over Kabul University. They are protesting the anti-Islam movie made by a right wing U.S. christian/convicted con man.
U.S. led airstrikes have killed at least eight people in Laghman Province, and 16 people in Kunar Province. Many people are wounded. U.S. occupation leaders claim they were targeting Mujahideen, however, local government officials say all eight of the people killed in Laghman were women.
President Hamid Karzai condemned the U.S. led airstrikes, and he said that the United States is not allowing Afghan officials access to Bagram Prison, even though the U.S. claimed they officially handed over the prison last week: “Delay in the handing over of prisoners after September 9th is a serious violation of the agreement signed between Afghanistan and the United States.”
Karzai says the United States is refusing to hand over 600 prisoners!!! Human rights groups had warned this would happen.
