Taliban Claims Another Shootdown
In one of the deadliest days in the history of recent Afghan
military operations, a NATO CH-47 Chinook has been reportedly shot
down by hostile forces of the Taliban. The CH-47 went down before
dawn, Saturday, in Afghanistan's Wardak province. Sources speaking
on behalf of the Taliban claim that 'it fired a rocket at the
helicopter during a battle' during which eight militants were
killed in a raid on their hideout.
