Manila. The Philippine military says
three air force personnel were killed when a helicopter carrying
supplies to troops fighting militants on a southern island crashed after
its engine failed.
Regional military spokesman
Lt. Col. Randolph Cabangbang says the Vietnam War-vintage UH-1H Huey
helicopter lost engine power as it approached a military camp in Patikul
township on Jolo island Saturday.
The helicopter hit the ground hard
and rolled down a hill.
Three crew members were killed and the fourth was injured.
The Huey is the Philippine air force's workhorse and is
used extensively in troop deployment, resupply and disaster operations. The troops are battling the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf group, which is on Washington's terrorist list.
