KABUL, Afghanistan -- An Afghan military pilot killed eight American soldiers and a US contractor at the Kabul airport yesterday after they argued at a meeting, officials said.

It was the deadliest episode of an Afghan turning against his coalition partners. The veteran military pilot was himself killed during the attack, and five Afghan soldiers were injured.

A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Dave Lapan, said all nine of those killed by the pilot were Americans. The Afghan Defense Ministry said the killer fired on the Americans after an argument in an operations room of the Afghan Air Corps at Kabul airport.

"Suddenly, in the middle of the meeting, shooting started," said Afghan Air Corps spokesman Col. Bahader, who uses only one name.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

There will be a never ending war in the middle east, and eventually after there's no more money to pacify the proletariat, war here at home in the street.

If Afghan soldiers had invaded the U.S. Americans would kill them just the way Afghan soldiers are killing Americans.

They have given us into the hand of new unhappy lords. Lords without anger and honor, who dare not carry their swords. They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes; They look at our labor and laughter as a tired man looks at flies. - G.K. Chesterton

In a nutshell.

Sovereign nations' peoples do not appreciate, nor welcome, armed invaders; and will do their level best to repel, and/or kill them whenever they can.

The pilot went bezerko because of financial difficulties and an argument at the joint meeting according his doctor brother, who also said he was not part of the Taliban, despite their claims:

Eight U.S. troops and an American contractor were killed early Wednesday when a veteran Afghan military pilot fired on trainers during a meeting in a military compound near Kabul International Airport.

The Taliban claimed responsibility in what it said was the latest attack by an insurgent infiltrator.

The pilot opened fire about 10 a.m. after an argument with a foreign colleague at a meeting in the operations room of the Afghan air force building, according to statements released by NATO and Afghan officials. The pilot targeted foreign instructors and advisors, they said.

Afghan security forces heard the shots and surrounded the building, storming inside even as other officers leapt from the building's second floor, said Col. Bahader, the Afghan military's spokesman at the airport. None of the Afghan personnel died in the attack, said Bahader, who goes by one name.

Inside the building, North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces killed the attacker in a gunfight, Afghan officials said, and a NATO soldier and five Afghan air force troops were wounded. A NATO quick-reaction force responded, and coalition and Afghan officials were still investigating late Wednesday.

U.S. Army Lt. Col. Elizabeth Robbins, a Pentagon spokeswoman, confirmed that all nine foreigners killed were Americans.

The pilot, identified as Ahmad Gul Sahebi, 48, was from the Tarakhail district of Kabul province and had served in the Afghan army for decades, according to a man who claimed to be his brother.

Dr. Hassan Sahebi, a Kabul neurologist, described his brother as a dedicated soldier who was not affiliated with the Taliban or other insurgents. He said in a telephone interview that his brother had been wounded four or five times in the line of duty, and once was so severely injured in a plane crash that he underwent 22 surgeries.

"My brother was a little depressed recently, but he had served with Afghanistan's national army for 20 years," Sahebi said. Earlier, in a television interview, Sahebi said his brother had recently been forced to sell his home.

"He loved his country and his people," Sahebi told The Times. "He was a good man."

A Taliban spokesman offered a different account of the attack. He said that the shooter, whom he called Azizullah, was an insurgent from the conservative Arzan Qimat neighborhood on Kabul's outskirts who succeeded in posing as a military pilot with help from Afghan security forces. 1 | 2 | Next
