In a report from Helmand’s Gerishk district, Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan shot down a US Chinook helicopter at 04:00 am, Aug. 10. Mujahideen say that the helicopter was shot with a RPG round while the invaders were transferring soldiers to a base in Zambili area close to the district center. It is said that the helicopter caught fire in mid-air and later came down near Sor Gano village. 30 crew members on-board were instantly killed in the crash. Later when US invaders came to recover the wreckage, 5 invaders where killed or wounded when they stepped on a mine buried by Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate. It is worth noting that 5 nights ago another helicopter was also brought down in Kandahar’s Panjwaee district. (Taliban website)
