Afghanistan: Nato Deaths As Plane Crashes

A plane crash in southern Afghanistan has killed four members of the international military coalition, Nato has said.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated.

Nato did not say where the plane went down but initial reports suggest there was no enemy activity in the area at the time, the alliance said.

Mohammad Jan Rasoulyar, deputy governor of the southern province of Zabul, said an aircraft belonging to foreign forces crashed on Saturday afternoon in Shah Joy district.

He said the site had been surrounded by international forces.

Most international soldiers in southern Afghanistan are from the US, but the nationalities of the victims have not been disclosed.

A Nato statement said: "The cause of the crash is under investigation, however initial reporting indicates there was no enemy activity in the area at the time of the crash."

There was no immediate claim of responsibility from the Taliban, who on Saturday announced the start of their annual "spring offensive" vowing a nationwide series of attacks as Nato troops withdraw from the country.

Earlier this month, two US troops were killed when a Nato helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan, while five US troops died in the southern province of Kandahar in May when their helicopter came down during a heavy rainstorm.
