SAS man killed in Afghan family feud

A New Zealand SAS soldier who was shot dead in Afghanistan yesterday was named as Lance Corporal Leon Smith. He was shot in the head during an operation in Wardak province, southwest of Kabul, according to a report.

He was flown to a medical base about 10 minutes away where a neurosurgeon was available, but died on the operating table.

The dead man was allegedly caught up in a family feud.

He was the fourth New Zealand soldier to be killed pointlessly in Afghanistan, and the second  SAS soldier after the death of Corporal Doug Grant in Kabul in August.

Doug Grant, 41, was reportedly killed after an attack by the Taleban at the British Council diplomatic offices last month.

“NATO forces have become part of the problem”

Former Afghan foreign minister is on record as saying that “the latest death showed that SAS troops were not needed in the region.”

In a live chat on nzherald.co.nz, Dr Lafraie said the SAS were contributing to instability in Afghanistan by carrying out violent military action.

“They don’t make any positive contribution.

“I don’t think there is a military solution to the problem in Afghanistan. I believe NATO forces have become part of the problem and cannot be part of the solution.”

He said reports of the operation where Mr Smith was killed were “disturbing”.

“The team seem to have been engaged in a night raid, similar to the ones carried out by the Americans, and focused upon in the past two years. Hundreds of innocent people have been killed or detained in such operations,” said Afghanistan’s former foreign minister.

Pollution? What Pollution?

NZ Govt forces UN body to falsify air pollution data

As anyone who has ever visited Auckland and left the city without a memory loss caused by a cocktail of lethal chemicals in the air can tell you, the air is really polluted out here. 

Auckland’s urban air quality has failed to meet acceptable standards about 17 times annually for five consecutive years to 2010 thanks to clouds  of smoggy brown haze blanketing the city at least 30 times a year, but that didn’t stop our government to force WHO falsifying its findings.

Yesterday’s figures reflected the state of air pollution in New Zealand’s cities which were higher than acceptable levels of air pollution.

TODAY, UN’s World Health Organisation (WHO)  has withdrawn those air pollution data.

WHO published air quality data for 1100 cities across 91 countries, focussing on an air pollution measurement known as PM10, a level of airborne particles smaller than 10 micrometres.

Dunedin is now worst city in New Zealand according to the latest figures with 25 micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m3) as an annual average.

Yesterday it scored just 19 µg/m3.

Auckland air pollution has dropped miraculously overnight by more than a third to 15 µg/m3. The city’s pollution rating yesterday was 23 µg/m3.

Wellington’s air pollution was also subject to the same miraculous reduction. It is now 13 µg/m3 against yesterday’s 21 µg/m3.

Christchurch? It now has New Zealand’s cleanest air on 11 µg/m3, compared with yesterday’s 20 µg/m3.

Hamilton today scores 13 µg/m3, also a massive improvement on yesterday’s 22 µg/m3, according to a report.

New Zealand’s annual mean score is now 14 µg/m3 when yesterday WHO was saying it was 22 µg/m3.

OK! You can fool most of the dumb tourists most of the time, but you still have to bury  an increasing number of New Zealanders who succumb to the air pollution each year.

Never mind the murder rate and road deaths in Auckland, air pollution kills at least 730 Aucklanders each year, according to a report. 

The city’s urban air quality failed to meet acceptable standards on average of 16-17 times annually during the last five years to 2010 and the city is clouded in a ”smoggy” brown haze 30 times a year.

Another Air New Zealand Flying Coffin Catches Fire

Flames? What Flames?

“Amazing” Air New Zealand said no flames came off the wing: Scared to Death Passenger

 ”Huge flames” erupted on the wing, said the passenger on board the Air New Zealand flight from Sydney to Auckland.

The woman, who asked not to be named, was on flight NZ118, coming into Auckland Airport from Sydney on Sunday when there was a power surge in one of the four engines.

Lying B**tards

The spokeswoman [for Air New Zealand] said none of the plane’s staff saw flames coming from the engine. But the passenger, who was in the window-seat overlooking the engine, found it “amazing” the airline said there were no flames coming off the wing.

You can’t miss a blaze that size

“Well, believe you me – I was sitting on the side of the plane that had the engine trouble and there were huge flames coming out from under the wing. How you could miss it I don’t know,” she said.

Some of the woman’s friends who were driving along the Manukau motorway at the time told her they could see flames coming out of the engine and thought it was in trouble.

“I saw what I thought was an emergency beacon – but then realised it was flames coming out of the outer starboard engine,” Manukau resident Kevin Ward told 3 News.

The woman on the flight said no one on board was panicked because the captain and flight attendants did not tell passengers that anything had happened.

“We circled around for quite a while, so obviously they were dumping fuel.”

Honeymooning in New Zealand ????

American couple lucky to be only robbed, but not murdered, raped or urinated on! 

Meghan Scranton and Philip Wilson who travelled all around the world without a single incident, thought New Zealand would be a cakewalk.

The couple who got married a week ago in the US, were robbed blind while they climbed Mt Eden. Thieves broke into their car and took their passports, wedding photos and “considerable amount” of cash.

“We wanted to see the whole view of Auckland, to see how everything was laid out,” Scranton said.

“Their hosts, a New Zealand couple (!!) they met in Italy last year, had parked the car in the main car park ,”  according to a report.

“We went to take a couple of pictures. We were out of the car three or four minutes,” she said.

Let’s hope the newlyweds will live New Zealand alive!!
