| Taliban hits US chopper in Afghanistan |
| 2008-03-18 |
| The Taliban claim they have brought down a helicopter belonging to US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan's eastern province of Kunar. Taliban spokesman Zabihollah Mojahid told a Press TV correspondent on Monday that the helicopter went down near the town of Sarkaneh, adding that all the passengers on board had been killed. Mojahid also said Taliban insurgents attacked a coalition tank in Hossein Khail region in Paktia province on Monday morning. Nine US troops were killed in the attack. There was no immediate confirmation from coalition forces. |

| #5 They don't have any video, only a still picture of a helicopter. There's nothing verifiable here. What makes the report even more suspect is the Taliban tendency to avoid US-led coalition forces and to go after school girls instead just to prove how brave they are. |

| #1 I think someone should keep an eye on this "Press TV correspondent" (just to make sure he stays safe, of course). A gps locater, cell & landline tap, with a few microphones and recorders just to fill out the inventory. |
