KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, July 14 (Reuters) - A military helicopter used by foreign troops crashed on Tuesday in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province, scene of a massive operation by U.S. Marines, an Afghan official said.

A spokesman for NATO said he was not aware of the report and officials for the U.S. military could not immediately be reached.
