‘More Than 20 Navy SEALS From the Unit that Killed Osama bin Laden’ Die in Helicopter Crash
August 6th, 2011Via: MSNBC:
A NATO helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Saturday killing 31 U.S. special-forces troops, including more than 20 Navy SEALS from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden, and 7 Afghan commandos.
It was the deadliest single combat incident for American troops in 10 years of war, according to an American official.
The operators from SEAL Team Six were flown by a crew of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regimen, according to U.S. officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because families are still being notified of the loss of their loved ones.
One source said the team was thought to include 22 SEALs, three Air Force air controllers, seven Afghan Army troops, a dog and his handler, and a civilian interpreter, plus the helicopter crew.
The sources thought this was the largest single loss of life ever for SEAL Team Six, known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

What a coincidence. How convenient.
Looks like they’ve been compartmentalized.
Live by the sword, die by the sword and all that.
And yet again, we see an “event” in real life that even the cheesiest novelist would never include in a book, because no reader would ever believe TPTB could get away with such an obvious stunt.
What a blessed world it is indeed, where crimes and conspiracies at the highest levels of power are simply nonexistent.
Good catch, AL.
