16 DIE IN HELICOPTER CRASH
Twelve UK and four US soldiers have become the first allied fatalities in the war on Iraq, military chiefs said.
They died when a US Marines Sea Knight helicopter, assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, crashed in Kuwait, nine miles from the Iraqi border.
Military officials said hostile fire had not been reported in the area and it is thought that the crash may have been caused by a technical fault.
Sad day, R.I.P.
