LONDON - Fourteen British armed personnel died when their aircraft crashed in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence in London said Saturday.
Twelve were from the Royal Air Force, one was a Royal Marine and the last was a British army soldier, a spokesman said.
The NATO aircraft came down in Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan due to a technical problem, a spokesman for the alliance in Kabul said earlier, stressing it was not shot down.
