Kanna Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 En Chinook som sköts ner i Afghanistan på lördagen transporterade 22 Navy SEAL:s och nio andra amerikanska soldater. Många av de döda tillhörde SEAL Tim Six, samma SEAL team som dödade Bin Laden. Detta är SEAL:s största enskilda förlust någonsin. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article13429875.ab http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/08/06/afghanistan.nato.helicopter.crash/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
