Venezuelan military helicopter crashes into boat
2010-09-14
A Venezuelan military helicopter crashed into a navy boat Tuesday during a search and rescue operation, Interior and Justice Minister Tarek El Aissami said.
Odd, "Tarek El Aissami" doesn't sound like a Spanish name...
El Aissami said five people including the pilot were injured in the crash and have been taken to hospitals on the tourist island of Margarita. At least two other people, including the co-pilot, are missing.

The navy ship was moored just offshore from a beach on Margarita island, at about 6:30 AM local time. The helicopter was carrying military personnel as well as three medical professionals.
