seal team 6 members in fatal helicopter crash
The US government has confirmed that some of the personnel killed when a US chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan were members of the team that took down Osama Bin Laden.
The Chinook went down in the Tangi Valley, in Wardak province, killing more than 30 Navy Seals and 7 Afghan soldiers.
Although being part of the same team that went after Bin Laden, none of the Seal Team 6 members on board the downed Chinook helicopter were the same men on the team that were part of the Bin Laden strike team.
The Taliban has taken responsibility for the shooting down of the helicopter.
