Iraq; crew not found
BAGHDAD, IRAQ - A U.S. mili
tary helicopter crashed Sunday in
the Tigris River in the northern
town of Mosul while searching for a
soldier, and both crewmembers
were missing, a spokeswoman said.
She did not say what caused the
crash of the OH-58D Kiowa
Warrior helicopter, attached to the
101st Airborne Division.
The helicopter was searching
for a missing U.S. soldier when the
boat he was in capsized earlier
Sunday, the spokeswoman said.

with three other soldiers and some
Iraqi policemen, she said.
The other three soldiers were
safe, but two Iraqi police officers
and an Iraqi translator are re

Bird flu virus vaccine
might take 6 months
BANGKOK, THAILAND - Asia’s
bird flu virus is resistant to key
anti-influenza drugs, and an effec
tive vaccine is probably more than
six months away, the World
Health Organization said Sunday,
as Indonesia confirmed it had be
come the seventh country in the
region with an outbreak.
The WHO said it would launch
a massive funding appeal to help
Asian nations destroy millions of
chickens in an attempt to stem
the disease. Experts warned that
if the slaughter is improperly car
ried out, it might only help the
virus’s jump from fowl to hu
mans.
Vietnam and Thailand are the
only countries this year where hu
mans have caught the avian flu.
