(September 18, 2008)—Four National Guard soldiers from Texas are among the troops who died Thursday in the crash of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter in southern Iraq.
An aide to Oklahoma Congresswoman Mary Fallin says the chopper carried four soldiers from Texas and three from Oklahoma.
Everyone on board was killed.
The military did not release the names or hometowns, pending notification of next of kin.
The CH-47 Chinook was flying in a four-helicopter formation from Kuwait to the U.S. military base at Balad when it crashed in the desert about 60 miles west of Basra.
In Washington, a Pentagon official said officials suspect a malfunction occurred on the Chinook.
The crash occurred in an area of Iraq under British military control.
A British quick reaction force and a road convoy were dispatched to help American officials at the site.
