Article containing "alleged" photographs of the wreckage, albeit from a tabloid.
if this is indeed the wreckage, it looks like maybe a Bombardier Global series bizjet.

The right wing has been detached, and is missing on videos/photos. I doubt that the crew survived.
It was a Global XRS, msn 9358 and a 2009 airframe, operated by the USAF Electronic Systems Command.

Ghazni police commander Ahmed Khalid Wardak told the BBC that there was no information about casualties, and that it was unclear what had caused the plane to crash. He added that the aircraft had been set on fire.
Hopefully meaning that the crew got out and torched it.
