US troops killed in chopper crash

Eight US troops have been killed and 14 wounded in a helicopter crash in south-eastern Afghanistan, US-led coalition forces say.

The Chinook came down after the pilot reported engine trouble.

The crash happened in Zabul province, bordering Pakistan. A coalition statement said the Taleban had been building up forces in the area.
