KABUL, Afghanistan - U.S. Navy SEALs who belonged to the unit that killed Osama bin Laden are among the 30 U.S. citizens who were killed Saturday when an insurgent shot down a U.S. military helicopter.
According to The Associated Press, "Insurgents shot down a U.S. military helicopter during fighting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 30 Americans, most of them belonging to the same elite unit as the Navy SEALs who killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, U.S. officials said today. It was the deadliest single loss for American forces in the decade-old war against the Taliban."
