U.S. Helicopter Crash in Afghanistan Kills 4
Air Force Confirms 3 American Troop Deaths, 1 Civilian, "Numerous" Others Injured; Taliban Claims Shoot-Down
A U.S. Air Force helicopter crashed late Thursday in Afghanistan's southeast, killing at least four people and wounding "numerous" others, the military said.
A spokesman for the Taliban said its fighters had shot it down, but an Afghan official said it appeared to have crashed due to mechanical failure.
The U.S. military released a statement saying an American CV-22 Osprey had crashed in southern Afghanistan late Thursday night, killing three U.S. troops, a civilian employee of unconfirmed nationality, and injuring "numerous other servicemembers."
Air Force officials said the cause of the crash was still being investigated.

CV-22 crash not caused by mechanical failure
The BellBoeing CV-22 crash in Afghanistan on 8 April was not caused by a mechanical failure, according to a source familiar with preliminary findings of the US military investigation.
The fatal crash, which killed four and injured others, occurred after the pilot lost situational awareness while landing in a wadi around 1am under brown-out conditions, the source says.
The incident killed the pilot, a flight engineer, an army Ranger and an unidentified civilian.
Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), which owns the CV-22 fleet, was not immediately available to comment.
US military officials have previously stated the cause of the CV-22 crash in Afghanistan was still under investigation. Military spokesmen, however, have ruled out enemy fire as a potential cause.
