  A NATO aircraft, a Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod MR2, crashed in Kandahar in southern Afghanistan today, killing 14 British servicemen. There is no indication that hostile fire was involved. 
  The crash came a day after fighting across the volatile south killed nine Afghan policemen, at least 13 suspected Taliban and a British soldier. 
  British Prime Minister Tony Blair said the incident would "distress the whole country", adding that the mission in Afghanistan is "vital".

"British forces are engaged in a vital mission in Afghanistan and this terrible event starkly reminds us of the risk that they face daily."
