U.S. Helicopter Crashes In Afghanistan Killing 8

   The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan says that eight of our troops were killed and another fourteen were wounded when helicopter crashed. The crew had reported engine failure just before it went down

   NATO spokesman Tom Collins said,"It was not enemy fire related. The pilot was able to radio in that he was having engine problems. We're confident it was not due to enemy action."

    Reporters were not allowed at the crash sight.
