US Suffers Losses In Afghanistan -- BBC News

A US helicopter has been shot down in central Afghanistan while two US soldiers have reportedly been killed in a suicide attack in the north.

The 10-member crew of the helicopter escaped unhurt after it came under small arms fire in Wardak province, a US military spokesman said.

The Taleban have grown increasingly daring in Wardak in recent months.

The US troops died in Baghlan province when a man dressed as a policeman blew himself up, officials say.

It is not clear if he was a Taleban fighter disguised as a policeman or he was a genuine policeman.

Afghan officials in Baghlan say the two US soldiers were killed when they were taking part in a meeting in a police station in Pul-e-Khumri, the main town in the province.

Some reports say the suicide attack also killed an Afghan policeman and a child working outside the building. The Taleban say they carried out the attack.
