Interesting anomaly here....

This weekend, on their official web page, the Taliban took credit for shooting down a British Chinook:
Sunday morning 07-03-2009 at approximately 10:12 am local time,  Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan shot an helicopter of British invader army in Marja district of Helmand province, the helicopter was few mints after down  in Shwrawa area in Krishk district of Helmand province, all the 27 invader terrorists on board were killed it it.  Reported by Qari  Muhammad Yousuf

However, in the Arabic version posted elsewhere, it was an American Chinook (GoogEng):
Bring down a military helicopter to the American occupation forces in Helmand
Continental / Yousuf Ahmadi
The mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate targeted at the tenth and twelve minutes of the morning 07-03-2009 U.S. helicopter-type Thenwk, near the district center in Helmand Marjh, fell after a few minutes before he arrived at an air base "Chorao" Province Jursck the state itself.  Killed in U.S. helicopter projected (27) soldiers on board.  Hit the struggling giant helicopter while carrying soldiers from the base to another.  After the target from where the fire broke out after a few minutes and then fell, and still the flames of fire rising from it.

Shooting down American choppers makes for better propaganda I guess...  :-\
