Category: Afghanistan
Two bodies were recovered after a U.S. military aircraft crashed in a Taliban-held area of Afghanistan.
A U.S. defense official told the Associated Press Tuesday that the two bodies recovered were the only people aboard the Air Force E-11A plane that crashed on Monday in the countrys Ghazni province. The identities of those killed have not yet been identified, pending notification to their families.

The team sent to recover the bodies didnt meet resistance from Taliban fighters, who have controlled the area since 2015. The incident came as the United States and the Taliban have been negotiating a possible peace deal in the region.
The official also said that there is no evidence, despite Taliban claims, that the aircraft was shot down.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the NATO-led Operation Resolute Support mission for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
