The plane crashed in Afghanistan was a "Bombardier E-11" Business Jet that also worked as communication relay node.
This was taken down by Taliban. Who claimed to have downed it from the beginning. 5 to 7 dead including one USA service men with his id, though 15 people were on board. Video and photo are on Twitter. The area is Taliban controlled. No news yet on how they downed it. No news on where rest of the survivors are.
No comment from USA yet. This will be bad news for USA if there were any high ranking officials on it.
