Anti-aircraft fire on US plane landing at Pak airfield
  • Gunmen fired on a US military plane on Tuesday as it came in to land at a Pakistan airfield used as a US logistics base for the war in neighbouring Afghanistan, a police spokesman said. No shots, thought to be from an anti-aircraft gun, hit the aircraft and there was no damage or casualties, the spokesman said. "Eight people have been arrested about 30 km from the base," police spokesman Iqbal Ahmad said.
    An antiaircraft gun?!? Now, normally I'm against gun control, but I'd call an antiaircraft gun pretty damned extreme. Normally we don't strafe in "friendly" countries, but I'd be all for making an exception. And I'll betcha there are some Feds who'd really like to talk to those eight people arrested.
