[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] The U.S. Air Force announced on the 17th (local time) that the body of an Afghan was found on the wheel of a U.S. military aircraft that escaped from Afghanistan, which was occupied by the Islamic militant group Taliban.

The U.S. Air Force discovered the corpse on the landing gear of a C-17 transport aircraft that landed at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar after departing Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, on the 15th.

The U.S. Air Force explained that the flight of the transport aircraft has been suspended and they are checking for any other traces of bodies.

The Air Force stated that the pilot of the transport aircraft attempted to unload cargo to support U.S. troops, but decided to return immediately considering the danger as Afghans swarmed around.
