KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- A U.S. military helicopter crashed in bad weather in southeast Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least nine people, including four American crew members, the military said.
An Afghan police official said the death toll could be higher, and that all aboard appeared to be American, but the U.S. military would not confirm that or give the nationalities of the passengers.
``We collected nine bodies, though the Americans told us there were 13 people in total on board,'' Sarjang told AP by mobile telephone from the crash site. ``They were all wearing American uniforms and they were all dead.''
