This is the headline in an Iranian newspaper. Having scoured the internet, I was not able to find anything similar. Click here to see the Iranian story. Is this Iranian propoganda?
Sixteen US troops from the a unit of the Airborne Division have committed suicide inside a military base in Iraq, security sources say.
Iraqi security sources have revealed that 21 US troops had committed suicide inside a former Iraqi air force base 27 days ago, Fars News Agency reported on Monday.
According to the sources, the 21 troops were treated in a hospital but only five soldiers have survived and they are in a critical condition. Security officials said they used potent narcotics to kill themselves.
I have reasons to believe so.
Its funny considering the Air Force does not have an Airborne Division. They don’t have Divisions at all. As a matter of fact they have Wings. The only branch of the Military that have Airborne Division’s is the Army. There are two of them the 101st and the 82nd. Neither has a sub unit with the numerals 57th. There is a 57th Signal Battalion but they are not in Iraq.
Also, the Iranian site may black out all the user comments calling the story propoganda so put your feedback here below.
