Imej kekal dari video yang dimuat naik di laman berita Facebook dipanggil ' Afghanistan 24/7’ (Still from a video uploaded on a Facebook news page called ‘Afghanistan 24/7’ – think IN pictures @1WORLD Community)
SitiWanMahani – Rakaman apa yang kelihatan sebagai satu kumpulan Afghanistan bersorak merejam bangkai kapal daripada Drone Predator muncul di internet.
Video tersebut didorong pada hari Rabu pada laman berita Facebook yang dipanggil ‘Afghanistan 24/7’.
Ia menunjukkan sekumpulan beberapa dozen orang yang berdiri di sebelah apa yang kelihatan tapak nahas sebuah Drone Predator MQ - 1. Pesawat tersebut digunakan secara meluas oleh pakatan NATO yang dipimpin di Afghanistan untuk pengawasan dan untuk menyampaikan serangan udara terhadap militan Taliban.
Lelaki2 mengambil rakaman itu kedengaran ketawa dan bersorak dalam kegembiraan, sebagai sebahagian daripada orang-orang batu lontaran hadir pada pesawat rosak dari jarak yang selamat.
Video: Afghans stone US Drone . . .
Footage of what appears to be a group of cheering Afghans stoning a wreck of a Predator drone appeared on the internet.
The video was posted on Wednesday on a Facebook news page called ‘Afghanistan 24/7’.
It shows a group of several dozen people standing next to what appears a crash site of an MQ-1 Predator drone. Such aircraft are used extensively by the NATO-led coalition in Afghanistan for surveillance and to deliver airstrikes against Taliban militants.
The man taking the footage is heard laughing and cheering in delight, as some of the people present throw rocks at the damaged aircraft from a safe distance.
Terdapat sedikit petunjuk di mana dan apabila video ditangkap, walaupun landskap padang pasir dan pakaian daripada orang seolah-olah menyokong keterangan video, yang mendakwa ia berlaku di Afghanistan.
Kemalangan Drone biasanya tidak dilaporkan oleh Pentagon dan CIA, yang beroperasi di negara-negara mereka seperti Afghanistan, Pakistan dan Yaman. Beberapa kempen kete-lusan mengatakan DOD adalah stonewalling Kebebasan mereka permintaan Maklumat untuk rekod kemalangan Drone.
Namun kejadian seperti berlaku agak kerap, terutamanya dengan armada pesawat tanpa pemandu berkembang pesat. Tahun lepas sekurang-kurangnya 2 pesawat tentera terhem-pas, manakala bulan ini Kastam dan Perlindungan Sempadan Amerika Syarikat berasaskan keseluruhan kumpulan pesawatnya selepas salah satu Drone telah kalah kepada kepin-cangan tugas semasa misi rondaan rutin di luar pantai California .
Laporan yang belum disahkan terkini dari Afghanistan datang awal bulan ini, apabila saluran TV Iran Press TV berkata berdengung Amerika Syarikat terhempas di wilayah Jantung Afghanistan berhampiran bandar Shindand.
Pejuang Taliban mendakwa mereka menembak jatuh pesawat kerana ia menyam-paikan serangan udara ke atas kubu kuat mereka pada 10 Januari.
There is little indication of where and when the video was shot, although the desert landscape and the clothes of the people seem to back the description of the video, which claims it happened in Afghanistan.
Drone crashes are normally not reported by the Pentagon and the CIA, which operate them in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen. Some transparency campaigners say the DoD is stonewalling their Freedom of Information requests for drone crash records.
Yet such incidents happen fairly often, especially with the fleet of unmanned aircraft rapidly expanding. Last year at least two military drones crashed, while this month the US Customs and Border Protection grounded its entire fleet after one of the drones was lost to a malfunction during a routine patrol mission off the California coast.
The latest unconfirmed report from Afghanistan came earlier this month, when Iranian TV channels Press TV said a US drone crashed in Afghan province of Heart near the town of Shindand.
Taliban fighters claimed they shot down the aircraft as it was delivering an airstrike on their stronghold on January 10.
