    KABUL, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- A helicopter belonging to an international military contractor providing logistic supply to NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) made emergency landing in Logar province some 80 km south of Afghan capital Kabul, provincial administration spokesman said on Thursday.

    "A helicopter belonging to Supreme Global Service Solution made emergency landing in Kharwar district and left the scene later on late Wednesday," Din Mohammad Darwish told Xinhua.

    However, Taliban purported spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid in talks with media via cell phone from undisclosed location claimed that his men crashed a helicopter in Logar, saying that they have had the wreckage.

    The company supplies food and logistic services to military bases across the militancy-hit country.

    In the past, Taliban insurgents have repeatedly attacked convoys providing logistic services to foreign troops.
