Bodies of GIs from helicopter crash recovered
 Rescuers recovered the bodies of 10 U.S. soldiers who died in a helicopter crash while scouring remote mountains along the Afghan-Pakistani border for Al Qaeda and Taliban militants, the military said Sunday. The military said Friday's crash into an inaccessible ravine the deadliest for U.S. forces here in a year was not caused by hostile fire. The soldiers were based at Ft. Drum in upstate New York, but their names and units will not be released for several days, fort spokesman Benjamin Abel said Sunday. The helicopter crashed in the Chawkay district of Kunar province, about 40 miles southwest of a large U.S. military base in the provincial capital of Asadabad.Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-05-08 |
