Now, we have another interesting turn of events.
| The State Department said on Monday it had no indication that a plane which Zimbabwe seized and described as carrying 64 suspected mercenaries and a military cargo was connected to the U.S. government.
"We have no indication this aircraft is connected to the U.S. government," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters, adding that he could not confirm statements by Zimbabwean officials that it was a U.S.-registered plane. A senior U.S. official who asked not to be named said the U.S. government did not believe it had any connection to the plane but was unwilling to say so definitively until it had finished investigating the matter. ...Zimbabwe state television showed footage of a white plane, with the figure N4610 written on the side. An initial check of U.S. Federal Aviation Administration records showed N4610 to be a Boeing 727 registered to Ottawa, Kansas-based Dodson Aviation Inc., but a Dodson official said it sold the plane about a week ago to an African company called Logo Ltd. |
Whoever that planeload of mercenaries belongs to (if there is one), I have a feeling those guys are going to wish they'd found another line of work.
