Fights Break Out in Afghanistan as NATO Moves to Recover Downed Helicopter - FoxNews.com: "An Afghan official says there is fighting in the area where a U.S. Army Chinook helicopter was apparently shot down Saturday by the Taliban, killing 38, including more than 20 Navy Seals from the unit that killed Usama bin Laden in May.
Wardak provincial spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said Sunday that a joint operation was taking place in the Tangi Joy Zarin area of Sayd Abad district where the large transport helicopter went down late Saturday.
The clashes Sunday did not appear to involve the troops around the crash site.
'There have been a small number of limited engagements in the same district as yesterday's helicopter crash, however those clashes have not been in the direct vicinity of the crash site,' NATO said in a statement. 'As of now, we have no reporting to indicate any coalition casualties resulting from these engagements.'"
