The taliban claim to have shot down a Predator Drone over south western Afghanistan. If their claim is true, then I wonder if they used a surface to air missiles supplied by Iran. However, Coalition forces stated in a press release the the drone crashed.

Khost, 13 October (AKI) - Taliban fighters on Tuesday claimed they had shot down a pilotless NATO drone aircraft in Afghanistan's southeastern Khost province, Pajhwok Afghan news agency reported. Khost borders Pakistan's volatile northwestern Kurram tribal area. The news came as US president Barack Obama was reported to be sending an extra 13,000 troops to Afghanistan to combat the increasingly violent Taliban-led insurgency.
