Libya state TV says NATO helicopter shot down


    CAIRO (Reuters) - Libyan forces shot down a NATO helicopter in the sea off the coast of the town of Zlitan on Friday, Libyan state television said.

    It quoted a military spokesman as saying it was the third aircraft to be shot down by Libyan forces since NATO began air strikes on Libya in March. There was no independent confirmation of the report.
