Initial denials:
Footage confirmation:
- How many tonnes of opium do you think it could safely carry?
Zabiullah Mujahid (Taliban spokesman) statement...
Translation:
Crash site was about 10 kilometres from a US military base in Deh Yak district, some 130km (80 miles) southwest of the capital Kabul.

In other news:
- Taliban have claimed responsibility for an Afghan military helicopter that was shot down on Jan 23 in Helman province, Afghanistan
- A USAF helicopter 'crashed' on Jan 10 in Paktika, Afghanistan
- Aghanistan is where I'd kick the US in the balls if I was leading the Quds Force. Just sayin.

Wonder if they'll get to the crash site

Lots of twitter accounts have been reporting that Russian intelligence has confirmed the death of Michael D'Andrea (head of CIA operations against Iran) in this incident, though no official source has & no evidence has surfased as yet. Iranian TV has also made the claim.
Michael D'Andrea was the CIA terrorist who organised the cowardly attack against General Soleimani & lots of other figures incl the Hezbollah chief of staff in 2008. He's a hyper-aggressive workhorse & major proponent of aerial death squad murders aka "targetted drone strikes".
He's one of the world's leading terrorists.
>> NYTimes has an article about him, he's known as the 'Dark Prince'
Maybe the 'Dark Prince' is now a bit darker than usual
