They added that they have not found any \u201cindication\u201d that the aircraft was downed.<\/p>\n<p>The aircraft crashed in Ghazni city area on Monday. An investigation into the incident is underway and the military will provide further information when its available, a spokesman for the<a href=\"https:\/\/ifpnews.com\/tag\/iran-afghanistan\">\u00a0US force in Afghanistan<\/a>, Col. Sonny Leggett has tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>The official also dismissed Taliban claims that another aircraft had crashed in the country, describing them as \u201cfalse.\u201d Earlier in the day, the Taliban said that a military helicopter went down in the east of the country shortly after the plane crash. The militant group did not provide any details of the alleged incident, nor did they specify to whom the helicopter belonged.<\/p>\n<p>There has been some confusion as to whether Taliban militants have claimed responsibility for the plane crash. Their initial statement in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/?title=Pushtu&amp;redirect=no\">Pushtu<\/a>\u00a0only stated that the plane had gone down.<\/p>\n<p>The Bombardier\/Northrop Grumman E-11A is a surveillance and communications plane. Footage from the scene showing the wreckage has been circulating on social media, and photos that appear to show a plane with the same serial number have been unearthed.<\/p>\n<p>Videos showed the shell of the plane ablaze on the ground. It was largely destroyed in the fire with only its tail section surviving the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists have made it to the scene of a plane crash in Afghanistan, snapping pictures of the wreckage and even some documents. It comes as the US Air Force\u2019s chief of staff all but confirmed the loss of the military plane.<\/p>\n<p>Footage from the scene shows that the aircraft burned upon the impact, with only its tail section remaining largely intact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>This article was published by &#8220;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/ifpnews.com\/murderer-of-soleimani-killed-in-us-plane-downing-in-afghanistan-sources\">IFP<\/a><em>&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/52911.htm\">http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/52911.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murderer of Soleimani Killed in US Plane Downing in Afghanistan; Report<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5908\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
