A helicopter crash in eastern Afghanistan has killed 31 US special forces and seven Afghan soldiers, according to President Hamid Karzai's office.

It is not clear how the crash happened, but the Taliban have said they shot the helicopter down.

The incident is believed to be the biggest single loss of life for US forces in Afghanistan since they began operations in 2001.

Halim Fidai, the governor of Wardak province, where the incident happened, thinks this attack is not necessarily an indication that the Taliban are winning the conflict in Afghanistan.
