April 25, 2006 -- Yesterday, an Antonov AN-32
Russian-built passenger/cargo plane crashed at Bost airport in Lashkar Gah, the
capital of southern Helmand province in Afghanistan. Two of the four Ukrainian
crew, including the pilot, were killed. Yet, miraculously, all thirteen
passengers, eleven Americans and two whose nationalities were withheld, survived
the crash. Three Afghans on the ground were killed, including two young girls,
two and three years old, and another five were missing. Helmand is known as a
center for Taliban activity, bumper heroin production, and links to
Afghanistan's American viceroy Hamid Karzai (Karzai's brother owns a restaurant
in Baltimore called "Helmand'). The Russian plane was said to be on a
counter-narcotics operation when a civilian truck pulled on to the runway as the
plane was landing, which resulted in the crash. As WMR has been reporting,
Porter Goss' CIA has been restoring its old drug routes in Latin America and
South Asia. The Russian plane was leased by the State Department's Bureau of
Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. The interesting element is that the major
leaser of such aircraft in Afghanistan with Ukrainian crews is notorious arm
smuggler Viktor Bout. Bout has leased his aircraft to the United States in such
regions as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Sudan. Bout also flew for the Taliban before
the U.S. invasion. Bout is also linked to Russian-Israeli-Ukrainian Mafia
kingpins in the drug smuggling business. The Bush administration and Porter
Goss's CIA are keeping some interesting bedfellows in the so-called "War on
Drugs."
