Taken Down

al Jazeera has posted a video that's been carried by the major news outlets of what appears to be a terrorist group shooting down a British C-130 Hercules cargo/transport plane.

(CNN) -- U.S. and British investigators are seeking the cause of Sunday's crash of a Royal Air Force C-130 transport plane as a video surfaced of what appeared to be the aircraft's wreckage.

Nine RAF service members and a soldier were missing and presumed dead after the crash, British Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon said in a written statement on Monday.

Hoon acknowledged reports that the Hercules plane may have been shot down, but added that "we are not in a position to come to any conclusions until the investigation is complete."

The militant group Ansar al-Islam posted a statement on a Web site claiming responsibility for the crash. The group said its fighters tracked the aircraft and "fired an anti-tank missile" at it before downing the plane.

Not good. Whether they did it or not, people are going to believe they did.
