A team of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is investigating the crash of a military helicopter on a school Naltar, in northern Iraq, an event in which seven people, including the ambassadors of Norway and the Philippines died. Although the Taliban were awarded the feat, the testimonies of survivors indicate that it was an accident.
The Taliban are attributed the accident
At first, the main Taliban group in the country, called Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), was attributed to have shot down the helicopter with an anti-aircraft missile and said his target was the prime minister Sharif. The Taliban statement triggered a wave of speculation that the country's government tried to placate saying it was an accident.
