Afghanistan

Three US soldiers and a civilian were killed in a CV-22 Osprey crash in Zabul. The military is investigating the crash; the Taliban claimed they shot the Osprey down. General McChrystal ordered an investigation into a Feb. 12 night raid that resulted in the deaths of five Afghans. Romania will send an additional 725 troops to Afghanistan.
