    KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Taliban said they detonated a bomb on a fuel tanker Wednesday and then opened fire on other NATO supply trucks in a morning attack that destroyed 22 vehicles loaded with fuel and other goods for U.S.-led coalition forces in Afghanistan. In western Afghanistan, a NATO helicopter crashed, injuring two troops serving with the U.S.-led military coalition, NATO said. The helicopter went down early Wednesday at an undisclosed location in the relatively peaceful west. No other information has been released about the crash, which is under investigation. The Taliban said they attacked NATO supply trucks parked overnight in Samangan province in the north. http://www.military.com/daily-news/2012/07/18/22-nato-supply-trucks-des…
