In Afghanistan, the Pentagon now fears that there are no survivors from Tuesday’s military helicopter crash. 17 troops were on board — most of them were special forces. It is believed that Taliban fighters shot down the helicopter — making it the first such attack in Afghanistan. Earlier today U.S. forces recovered 13 bodies from the crash scene. The attack was the deadliest for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since the U.S. invaded in 2001.
