Afghan helicopter crash kills 11 in Kandahar

Eleven people have been killed after a Black Hawk helicopter carrying foreign troops crashed in southern Afghanistan, the Nato-led coalition force says.

Those killed include three US soldiers and four other foreign troops, as well as four Afghans, the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said.

The crash took place in the Shah Wali Kot district of Kandahar province, the Afghan authorities said.
Isaf said it was investigating the cause of the crash.
Three of the Afghans killed were members of the security forces, while one was a civilian interpreter, Isaf said in its statement.
The nationalities of the non-US foreign troops have not yet been disclosed.
