WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2002 -- Two Marines
died and five others were injured Jan. 20 in the crash of a CH-53E Sea
Stallion helicopter in Afghanistan, U.S. Central Command said. The injured
have been evacuated to medical facilities in the area, officials said.
Their injuries are not considered life threatening. Identities are withheld
pending notification of next of kin. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld
said there is no evidence the helicopter -- on a routine resupply mission
-- - encountered enemy fire. He said a mechanical problem was most thelikely
the cause of the accident, but a crash investigation has begun. The chopper
lifted off from Bagram air base near the Afghan capital of Kabul. It crashed
at about 6:30 a.m. local Afghan time, about 60 kilometers south of the
base. Officials did not say where the chopper was heading.
