Afghanistan Helicopter Crash: More Than 20 Navy SEAL Team 6 Members Killed
WASHINGTON -- The Associated Press has learned that more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden were among those lost in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.
The operators from SEAL Team Six were flown by a crew of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. That's according to one current and one former U.S. official. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because families are still being notified of the loss of their loved ones.
One source says the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler, and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.
The sources thought this was the largest single loss of life ever for SEAL Team Six, known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.
Funny how fate catches up to you. These seals were carrying out a night raid on homes of taliban members, 8 taliban were killed, as they were leaving the chopper gets shot down by an rpg - turns out 20 of the seals killed were behind Bin Laden's murder.

A lot of my "rah rah rah patriot go USA" buddies on Facebook were posting about this over the weekend.
It never occurred to me that it was a plot to keep them quiet, but it makes sense. Rule number one of assassinations is: assassinate the assassin.
I thought of it more as poetic justice for the supposed killing (I'm still not convinced that OBL is dead, not without a body or pictures) without a trial of a man who may or may not have been responsible for terrorist activities (I'm not convinced that Al-Quaeda was behind 9/11).
The article basically points the fingers towards zionist jews who are apparently running america and made up the whole bin laden saga, started all the wars to kill muslims etc etc

Traditionally fighting at night was considered low and underhanded and very bad form. Only brigands and soldiers that worshipped evil would fight at night.
Quite Interesting. The interviews at the end reveals it all.
I always thought the most advanced helicopter crashing in abbottabad for no apparent reason was so implausible.
I guess if you can blow up a tower, then a helicopter, regardless how advanced it is, is a piece of cake.
No offensive but I don' think the Americans are going to wake up.
Seal team 6 killl OBL (remember seal team 6 did not know who their target was until they got into the helicopter AFAIK that's how they are trained)
They destroy the secret helicopter, some Pakistani eyewitness said that it blew up as it climbed up. (so soldiers were inside)
Now the team behind OBL killing is dead, what a load of bull,
Simple they went in killed the guy, heard on the news some stuff about OBL government needed seal team 6 to keep shut..
I'm not totally convinced that OBL was "killed" during that "raid" by Seal Team 6. I think he was either already long dead before that or he is still alive somewhere. Until I see a body or pictures, I won't believe that this "raid" was anything more than a ploy for Obama to regain his falling popularity.

Well according to that link bro Ramadhan posted, OBL died whilst still working for the CIA in 2001 and his body was frozen by the CIA

Yes he either died in 2001 or he is alive but prisoned somewhere, but my guess is he is dead..

Salaam,
First of all, what on earth would the CIA want with bin Laden's frozen body? Second of all, if this happened in 2001, why wouldn't they tell the American public? We all saw how they reacted when they heard the news-- there were people throwing parties all over the place. I fail to see the logic in this unless you believe that the CIA was somehow conspiring against Bush.

Sister, have you forgotten why/how The US invaded Afghanistan in the first place and why they remained in there for a decade?
have you also forgotten why/how the US invaded Iraq in the first place?
or do/did you actually believe Saddam had WMD and was going to destroy the US?

I have not. You make an excellent point; I hadn't thought of that.
