Casualties are a part of war. Sad to lose any. Still, this sounds like a
bit of an exaggeration to me.

Taliban claims it hit helicopter- killing 20-25 U.S. soldiers
ISLAMABAD, Oct. 21 (Kyodo) *****
- Afghanistan's ruling Taliban claimed Sunday that a helicopter crash in
Pakistan on Saturday killed 20-25 U.S. soldiers and was the result of a
Taliban attack, a report by Afghan Islamic Press, (AIP) said.
''It is beyond doubt that the helicopter was fired on by the Taliban and
20-25 soldiers were killed in its crash,'' the Pakistan-based news
agency reported Taliban spokesman Amir Khan Muttaqi as saying.
The Taliban report conflicts with a Pentagon report Saturday that said
two U.S. military personnel were killed in a helicopter accident in
Pakistan. The Pakistan Foreign Office also confirmed the crash was an
accident.
Muttaqi said five helicopters took part in the operations in the
mountains in the Arghandab district of Kandahar on Friday with up to
20-25 soldiers aboard each helicopter.
U.S. ground troops fled when the Taliban reached the area, according to
Muttaqi, but one of them was hit by Taliban forces and fled to Pakistan
territory with great difficulty where it then crashed.
Muttaqi wondered why news of the crash was made public several hours
after the announcement that U.S. ground troops had launched successful
ground operations inside Afghanistan.
''We will never surrender before the United States. God willing we will
defeat the oppressive force,'' he was quoted as saying.
