Marine helicopters crash - 10 US troops killed

Ten US troops died in the crash of two transport helicopters off northern Djibouti’s coast during a training mission.

Two CH-53E choppers were carrying a dozen crew and troops when they went down on Friday in the Gulf of Aden, near the coastal town of Ras Siyyan. The troops were members of a counterterrorism force headquartered in the Horn of Africa nation, US military officials said.
