US fighter jet crashes in Afghanistan; 2 crew dead

KABUL — A U.S. military F-15E fighter jet crashed in Afghanistan early Saturday, killing two crew members, a U.S. military spokesman said.
A second fighter aircraft traveling with the jet that went down saw no evidence of enemy fire, U.S. military spokesman Col. Greg Julian said.
No fighter jets have crashed in Afghanistan in years. Militants are able to shoot down helicopters with rockets, but are not known to have the anti-aircraft weaponry necessary to bring down a high-flying jet.
