Chinook helicopters fly over the Paktia's mountains province near Khost, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) southeast of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, in this March 27, 2004, file photo. Five Americans and two other soldiers died when a Chinook helicopter was apparently shot down in Afghanistan's most volatile province, a U.S. military official said. The Taliban claimed responsibility. Initial reports suggested the helicopter was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade on Wednesday evening May 30, 2007, said the U.S. official, who insisted on speaking anonymously because the crash was still under investigation. NATO said there were no survivors.
