KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- NATO says one of its helicopters "has gone down'' in southern Afghanistan, and a Taliban spokesman claims the militant group shot it down.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force says the helicopter went down around 9 p.m. local time this evening. It released no other details.
A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, claimed in a phone call to The Associated Press that militants had shot the helicopter down in Helmand province.
That claim could not be immediately verified.
