Four U.S. Soldiers Die in Kuwait Helicopter Crash
Mon February 24, 2003 10:03 PM ET
KUWAIT (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were killed in Kuwait on Tuesday when their helicopter crashed during training in the desert, the U.S. military said.
Their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter went down near Camp New Jersey, a temporary U.S. military base 30 miles north of Kuwait City, while conducting night training, a U.S. military statement said. The four were the only people aboard.
The soldiers' identification is being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Tens of thousands of U.S. troops are in the Gulf Arab state to prepare for a possible assault on neighboring Iraq to force the government of President Saddam Hussein to give up weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies it has any such weapons.
