U.S. Copter Carrying Quake Aid Fired At
A U.S. CH-47 Chinook was fired at with a RPG while ferrying supplies to earthquake victims in Pakistan's portion of Kashmir.

The Pakistani army spokesman, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, said what the pilots saw was most probably engineers using explosives to clear a road.

However the U.S. is sticking to the story, a spokesman said the crewman who reported the attack had just served in Afghanistan for months and can recognize a fired rocket-propelled grenade.
