Airstrike targets insurgents behind deadly Chinook crash
In Afghanistan, a NATO airstrike killed Taliban fighters tied to the weekend Chinook crash that killed 38 U S and Afghan troops. Marine Gen John Allen said fewer than 10 militants were killed and credited the strike with eliminating the attacker who fired the rocket propelled grenade and a Taliban leader. The event marked the deadliest single loss for U S forces in the Afghan war as U S troops draw down.
