Two British Navy helicopters collided Saturday over international waters in the Persian Gulf, and seven crew members were missing. The collision involved Sea King search and rescue helicopters and did not result from enemy fire, said Group Capt. Al Lockwood, a spokesman for British forces in the Gulf. A search and rescue operation was under way to find the missing crew members. ``We are doing everything we can to ascertain what caused the accident,'' Lockwood told Sky News. The collision happened around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, officials said.
