Looks like there's been yet another helicopter crash:

It is very sad indeed. Bad weather, poor visibility, and sand in the turbines are not a good combination for any type of helicopter.

They said they wouldn't rule out hostile fire though... I guess we'll have to wait for more details.

Poor guys. They died doing their duty, though it's sad to think they had to go in such a senseless manner. I'd prefer to go out on my feet instead of strapped inside a Blackhawk.
