Barely a year after ISAF had handed matters over to them they'd already lost the damn city to the enemy again. ?

A video of the crash of a Mi-17 helicopter of the Afghan special forces in the Wardak province, in the central part of Afghanistan, on March 18 has been published. The victims of the crash were nine members of the security forces on board.
The helicopter was reportedly shot down at night by militants loyal to militia commander Alipur using a laser-guided missile.
