A US military aircraft has crash landed at the al-Udeid military base in Qatar.

The B1 bomber reportedly suffered technical difficulties and exploded as it attempted to land at the base about 35km from the capital Doha late on Friday.

There was no immediate information about casualties from the incident.

The B1 Lancer is a supersonic, long-range bomber which carries a crew of four people.

Last month, a B-1 bomber slid off the runway at Anderson Air Force base on Guam, crashing into a group of emergency vehicles. The military reported that there were no injuries and no fatalities as a result of the accident.

Whether or not that aircraft was shot down by the Mujaahideen (which is probably the case), all we have to say is:

فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمَى

You killed them not, but Allâh killed them. And you threw not when you did throw but it was Allâh who threw… (8:17)

Alhamdullilah. We thank and praise our Lord, the Most Kind, for bringing damage upon the ‘Adaa of Allah Ta’aala.
