An ISAF spokesman told AFP in Kabul that the crash occurred late on Thursday
local time.
He stressed that “there was no enemy around,” but could not give further
information such as the terrain at the crash site or the weather.
In August, 30 US troops were killed when Taliban insurgents shot down a US
Chinook helicopter, in the most deadly incident for US and Nato forces since
the war in Afghanistan began in 2001.
The dead included 17 Navy SEALs and five other Navy sailors assigned to the
SEAL unit. Seven Afghan troops and an interpreter were also killed.
Most of the Navy commandos came from the same SEAL team credited with killing
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a May raid in Pakistan.
