Virgin Atlantic sacks four Gatwick staff for 'Taliban' donkey sex porn clip

London, June 6 (ANI): British airline Virgin Atlantic has sacked four of its workers based at Gatwick Airport for circulating a video clip that claims to show a Taliban fighter having sex with a donkey.

The footage they emailed is believed to have been filmed by American special forces in Afghanistan and has become an internet hit.

It bore the caption: 'What the Taliban do when they are not making improvised explosive devices.'

Virgin Atlantic warned the four Gatwick-based members of staff that they may be in breach of the Obscene Publications Act

Managers at the West Sussex airport became aware of what was going on when turnaround co-ordinator David Armstrong accidentally sent the clip to the airline's entire IT department, according to the Sunday Mirror.

The management warned Armstrong and three others that they may have broken the law by contravening the Obscene Publications Act.

They were sacked in April for gross misconduct but have lodged claims for unfair dismissal, claiming that it was common practice for more senior Virgin staff to circulate pornography via email.

The video is to be shown at an employment tribunal due to hear the four men's appeal on Monday, June 6. (ANI)
