A Thai military helicopter crashed while transporting officers to a base in the country's restive south Wednesday, killing all six on board, an air force spokesman said. The cause of the late morning crash was under investigation and authorities had not ruled out the involvement of Islamic terrorists separatists in the downing of the chopper, Capt. Monthon Suchakorn said. "We received an initial report from the scene that the air force helicopter crashed and that all six officers on board were killed," Monthon said. The helicopter was carrying two pilots, two engineers and two research and rescue officers, he said. |
