From: James Tait <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit our website: HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK --------------------------------------------- Taliban forces are said to have shot down an unmanned spy plane in northern Afghanistan. Abdul Salam Zaeef, the hardline Taliban's ambassador to Pakistan, said the aircraft was shot down over Tashgurgan Pass in Afghanistan's northern Samangan province. He said it was targeted by Taliban soldiers armed with Russian-made anti-aircraft weapons. "We are still trying to ascertain what country this plane belongs to," Zaeef said The Afghan Islamic Press, an Afghan news agency based in Islamabad, first reported it was a US spy plane, but then said it wasn't sure which country it was from. The aircraft could have entered northern Afghanistan from Russia or one of the nearby central Asian states, such as bordering Uzbekistan. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_405125.html _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
