KABUL, Afghanistan -- A helicopter crash in Afghanistan's eastern Wardak province has killed 31 U.S. special operation troops and seven Afghan soldiers, the country's president said on Saturday. It was the highest nuraber of casualties recorded in a single incident in the decade-long war.

President Hamid Karzai sent his condolences to President Barack Obama, according to a statement issued by his office.

"A NATO helicopter crashed last night in Wardak province," Karzai said in the statement, adding that 31 American special operations troops were killed. "President Karzai expressed his deep condolences because of this incident and expressed his sympathy to Barack Obama."

NATO confirmed the overnight crash and said the alliance was conducting a recovery operation at the site and investigating the cause of the crash, but did not release details or a casualty figure. The coalition said there "was enemy activity in the area."

"We are aware of an incident involving a helicopter in eastern Afghanistan," said U.S. Air Force Capt. Justin Brockhoff, a NATO spokesman. "We are in the process of accessing the facts."

A spokesman for Wardak province, Shahidullah Shahid, said the helicopter crashed in the Sayd Abad district of Wardak province. The volatile region borders the province of Kabul where the Afghan capital is located and is known for its strong Taliban presence.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed the downed aircraft was a U.S. military helicopter and that the Taliban fighters had brought it down with a rocket attack.
 
Mr. Occam would say that they died due to enemy fire or a helicopter accident, both of which happen all the time.

Mr. Occam would not pull a ludicrous conspiracy theory out of his ass.
 
Not to mention all the other SEALs. Do you think they'd sit there quietly and take it if there was even a sneaking suspicion that this was to cover up something their brothers did on the clock?

A large portion of guys who would take the pain and punishment to get to where they're at are true believers, its doubtful they'd accept something like this.
 
yea bro, NATO is the new thing. Those are NATO borabing missions in Lybia, not US, we aren't in a war with Lybia in violation of the war powers act, thats NATO. Its NATO everywhere these days. Suddenly its cool to be NATO, This was a NATO flight shot down, not a US mission
 
let's not forget that we found and killed the most wanted person in the world...whom we were after for TEN YEARS...and the body was never seen...just whisked off in the middle of the night and thrown into the ocean I feel erabarrassed to be an american and be surrounded by people that continually believe these lines of bullshit
 
anyone who still believes that we're in a 3rd world country on the premise to bring democracy and safety for the country's citizens is just delusional at this point.

this shit just reminRAB me of the Iran-Contra/cocaine fiasco of the 80s
 
U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that they believe that none of the Navy SEALs who died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan had participated in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, although they were from the same unit that carried out the bin Laden mission.
