KABUL: Two American service members have been killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, US forces there said Wednesday, adding that the crash appeared to be an accident, though the Taliban claimed they had shot it down.
It did not reveal the crash location and said it was withholding the names of those killed until next of kin could be told.“The Americans wanted to raid a mujahideen base, but their helicopter was shot down and caught fire. All on board were killed,” their main spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said. Roughly 13,000 US troops remain in Afghanistan, 18 years after Washington invaded in the wake of the Sept 11, 2001 attacks.
