□アフガニスタンでスペイン兵17名が死亡 [CNN]
・今回の出来事が,アフガニスタンでスペイン軍に死者が出た初のケース。
スペイン政府は撃墜の可能性を否定している。
墜落したヘリコプターと共に飛行していたもう1機のヘリコプターも『損傷』を受けて
緊急着陸をしている。
今から2年以上前に,アフガニスタンからスペインに帰国する兵士を乗せた飛行機がトルコで墜落,
兵士62名が死亡するという事故が起きている。
この記事にコメントを寄せている[Layth]という人物は,ヘリコプターが墜落事故なら,なぜもう1機のヘリコプターが
損傷によって緊急着陸する必要があるのか,疑問を呈しています。

17 Spanish Troops Killed in Afghanistan
By: CNN on: 16.08.2005 [11:05 ] (249 reads)
Seventeen Spanish troops died in what appeared to be an accidental helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Tuesday, a spokesman in the Spanish prime minister's office told CNN.
These are the first Spanish troop fatalities in Afghanistan.
The 17 were serving under NATO command as part of a Spanish contingent of about 800 peacekeeping troops there.
The spokesman said "a helicopter crashed" although he had no immediate further information on the circumstances of the accident.
Initial reports say the location of the crash is in western Afghanistan. Some Spanish troops are based in the western city of Herat.
He said there was no indication that the helicopter was brought down by hostile fire.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, on vacation, has been informed and was in contact with Spain's Defense Ministry, the spokesman said.
Spanish Defense Minister Jose Bono was expected to make a statement at 2 p.m. (8 a.m. ET).
A second helicopter, flying near the one that crashed, made an emergency landing and there were injuries on that craft, Spanish Defense Ministry spokesmen told CNN partner station CNN+.
More than two years ago, 62 Spanish troops returning from peacekeeping missions in Afghanistan died when their plane crashed in Turkey.

Layth's comment: if it was an 'accident' then why did the second helicopter have to make an emergency landing with injuries?
God bless the Resistance of Afghanistan and Iraq...
