Seven Killed in Afghanistan Plane Crash
Civilian cargo craft goes down
The U.S.-led military coalition says seven people died when a civilian cargo aircraft crashed at Bagram Air Field, north of the Afghan capital.
In a statement, the coalition confirmed that all seven civilian crew members were killed in Monday's crash.
The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the crash. But the coalition denied that, saying in a statement to The Associated Press that the militant group's statement was false.
