At least six people have been killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, within hours of a US announcement that two more of its Marines had died in combat.
The Chinook helicopter, which a Nato spokesman described as a civilian aircraft, came down in southern Helmand province where US Marines are carrying out a massive operation against Taleban insurgents. However, it is unclear whether the dead are military personnel or contractors, as an Afghan official who witnessed the incident said that the helicopter was being used by foreign forces.
