US Fighter Jet Crashes in Afghanistan
[Quqnoos] A US military F-15E fighter jet crashed in Afghanistan early Saturday, killing two servicemen on board, according to reports.
May they get to heaven ten minutes before the Devil knows they're dead.
A spokesman for the US forces in Afghanistan, Col Greg Julian, told Associated Press that a second fighter aircraft travelling with the jet that went down saw no evidence of enemy fire.

The military says the F-15E crashed in eastern Afghanistan at about 3:15 a.m. Saturday, according to AP. The military did not immediately say where in eastern Afghanistan the jet went down. The crash will be investigated by a board of officers, the military said.

No fighter jets have crashed in Afghanistan in years as Taliban militants do not have the anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down high-flying jets. The Taliban militants have shot down a number of foreign helicopters with rocket launchers in the recent years. Taliban militants have not immediately claimed responsibility for the fighter jet crash.
