Torygraph: SAS men killed in Iraq as fourth Puma crashes
Two SAS soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq yesterday raising safety questions over the RAF’s four decade old fleet of aircraft. The two troopers died after the Puma troop transporter went down in an urban area during a covert mission over Baghdad.
The soldiers were part of an anti-terrorist mission flying low over the city at night.
