    KABUL, Afghanistan - Eight people were wounded and one killed after a rocket-propelled-grenade was fired at an International Security Assistance Force helicopter in Kunar province, Oct. 12.

    There were 26 people on the aircraft.

    The landing site has been secured by Afghan and ISAF soldiers.
