一架美国军用空中加油机在吉尔吉斯斯坦半空中爆炸后坠毁。这架飞机从玛纳斯机场的玛纳斯转运中心起飞，玛纳斯转运中心为北约向阿富汗转运物资而设。

　　Officials didn’t say where the plane was heading and the US transit center declined to comment. A civil aviation official said storm clouds could have caused the explosion. Kyrgyzstan’s Emergencies Minister said there were between two and five crew members on board.

　　官员没有透漏飞机的航向，美国转运中心拒绝评论。一名民用航空官员说暴风云可能会引起爆炸。吉尔吉斯斯坦紧急情况部部长称飞机上有两到五名机组人员。
