Two soldiers from the NATO-led force in Afghanistan were killed when a helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan, an action which the Taliban claimed, local media reported. "I can confirm that a helicopter has crashed in eastern Afghanistan," said the biggest Tim James, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) under NATO command.
"We have no indication that register some kind of enemy activity in the area when the plane went down," he said. In a statement issued by NATO ruled out the involvement of insurgents "in the incident, saying that" the cause of the accident is under investigation. However, Taliban rebels claimed responsibility for the incident, Afghan news agency reported PAN (Pajhwok Afghan News).
