KABUL, Nov 26 (Reuters) - A helicopter belonging to a military contractor has gone missing in Afghanistan and NATO forces are helping search for it, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The helicopter belonged to catering and logistics contractor Supreme Global Services, said Sergeant Angela Eggman, a press officer for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.

She did not say how many people were on board or where the search was taking place.

"All I can say is that we are assisting," Eggman said.

Deen Mohammad Darwish, a spokesman for the governor of Logar Province, south of Kabul, said a helicopter had made an emergency landing on Wednesday in the province's remote Kharwar district.

He had no information about casualties. It was not immediately clear if the helicopter was the same aircraft involved in the search by NATO forces.
