| Talibs' "victory trophy" fell off helicopter |
| 2001-10-23 |
The Taliban military looks even less fearsome than it did yesterday. No, seriously. Remember that helicopter the Taliban claimed to have shot down? They produced the wheels but refused to take a CNN camera crew to the actual site of the purported shootdown, saying it was too dangerous because of land mines. Now the Pentagon says the wheels did come from an American helicopter--which hit a barrier as it arrived at the attack site, ripping off its front landing gear. The chopper returned to Pakistan, where it was able to land safely on the rear gear. |
