UN helicopter crash kills 10
KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - March 3, 2008 Home Ministry spokesman Modraj Dotel confirmed the helicopter
was carrying U.N. personnel.
Mohan Adhikari, chief of the air rescue unit at Katmandu
airport, said rescuers have pulled 10 bodies from the wreckage but
still did not know how many people were on board.
"We have conflicting reports that there were either 11 or 15
people on board but even the U.N. representatives are not sure how
many were there on the helicopter," Adhikari said.
