| [Dawn] An Iranian news agency is reporting that the pilot and co-pilot of a police helicopter have been killed in a crash in southeast Iran. The report by the semiofficial Fars agency says the helicopter crashed midday Friday noon after it hit a telecommunications tower. The craft was scheduled to land at the southeastern Iranian town of Khash in Sistan-Balochistan province. The report said the tower was located on a base of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards. The area has been a scene of frequent festivities between Iranian forces and drug pushers as well as a Sunni turban group, Jundallah, which has waged a long insurgency in the remote province, which borders Pakistain and Afghanistan. |

| #1 Dang, dem Juices are good. Wonder how they got that telecommunications tower to jump out in front of that helicopter? Or maybe it was an inside job, like all the explosions around the country lately? |
