US says Taliban who shot at US helicopter dead



The Taliban who shot at a US military helicopter which crashed, leaving 38 American and Afghan troops dead, have been killed, a US commander has said.


General John Allen, US forces commander in Afghanistan, said those responsible had been targeted in an air strike.

Separately, Nato said in a statement the strike had killed Taliban leader Mullah Mohibullah and the insurgent who fired at the helicopter.

The dead included Navy Seals, US Air Force personnel and other groups.

Many of those killed in Saturday's crash were members of Seal Team Six, the elite special forces unit whose members undertook the May raid into Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

"The strike killed Taliban leader Mullah Mohibullah and the insurgent who fired the shot associated with the August 6th downing of the CH-47 helicopter," the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) statement said.

Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon on Wednesday, Mr Allen said international forces learned to where the insurgents had fled, sought them out and killed them.

"We dealt with them in a kinetic strike," Mr Allen said.

Poor US, reduced to revenge as public policy - reality is there is no way of knowing who fired the RPG at the helicopter, but the US home population needs "retribution" for the loss and with this statement, their anger is appeased - if only the US's problems abroad could be solved with statements, like it's internal problems are amenable to.

How did they know that the ones targeted were the ones who shot at the heli ?. There were no witnesses or anything, the US has given this statement just to appease their citizens , fooling them into thinking that revenge has been taken and the responsible were brought to justice!
