| Pak fundos fire on downed helicopter recovery |
| 2001-10-23 |
Two American helicopters were fired on yesterday--in Pakistan, not Afghanistan. The choppers were trying to recover the wreckage of a Blackhawk helicopter that crashed accidentally last week. That mission was aborted when the shooting started. The Boston Globe reports that "the identity of the attackers is unknown, but officials suspect Islamic radicals aligned with the Taliban and opposed to the US presence in Pakistan." Washington has asked Islamabad to remove hostile forces from the region. |
