WASHINGTON – U.S. military investigators found no conclusive evidence that an Afghan officer who killed eight U.S. airmen and one U.S. civilian during a meeting in Kabul in April had ties to the Taliban, according to a report released Tuesday.

But the gunman, who shot each of the Americans multiple times after arriving for a routine meeting at an Afghan air force headquarters compound, previously had vowed to "kill Americans," the report said.

The incident — among the deadliest of its kind during the 10-year-old war — showed the dangers faced not only by U.S. troops on Afghan battlefields but also those military and civilian trainers and advisers who work daily with Afghan forces to prepare for the eventual departure of international troops.

Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, praised the victims' bravery and said they have left behind "an honorable legacy that we continue to see in the commitment of airmen who serve as air advisers today."

The 436-page report by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations determined that Col. Ahmed Gul acted alone, but it found no conclusive motive for the deadly shooting spree at Kabul International Airport.

Did he pee on anyone? If he peed on anyone, then I will really be upset.

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY SOLDIERS WOULD RELIEVE THEMSELVES ON THE ENEMY?

Especially when the brass are supporting the enemy.

Oh, yeah, we really need to “trust” the Mooslimes — NOT.

It is politically correct to claim the US is not at war is Islam. But it is a deadly lie to pretend Islam is not at war with the US. The reason Ahmed murdered Americans is because he is a Muslim.

White guy on shooting rampage = Right Wing Extremist TEA Party Member.

I guess he's free to go then. Because if he had ties to the Taliban that would mean ... wait, I thought the Taliban was our friend now and had no ties to terrorists? So not having ties to the Taliban is a bad thing!?! I can't keep this straight anymore.

each of the Americans multiple times

Were the Americans unarmed?

Thanks ColdOne.

...found no conclusive evidence that an Afghan officer who killed eight U.S. airmen and one U.S. civilian during a meeting in Kabul in April had ties to the Taliban... shot each of the Americans multiple times... previously had vowed to "kill Americans," ...

Other than those two things which are an exact match, not even the remotest similarity to the Taliban or jihadists anywhere. Ron Paul must be pleased.
