Pentagon: 2 Killed in Pakistan CrashThe Associated Press Friday, Oct. 19, 2001; 10:35 p.m. EDT
WASHINGTON –– A helicopter supporting the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan crashed Friday in neighboring Pakistan, killing two people, the Pentagon said.
A brief Pentagon statement said the helicopter crash was an accident. The two people who were killed were not immediately identified.
The Pentagon did not say whether the accident was related to a commando operation in southern Afghanistan involving about 100 special operations forces.
The United States has put troops and helicopters at two bases inside Pakistan since the beginning of fighting in Afganistan.
