10. 2 Marine Corps copters crash off Djibouti coast
WASHINGTON -- Two Marine Corps transport helicopters carrying a dozen troops crashed yesterday off the coast of Djibouti, and two people were rescued in the initial search, the Pentagon said.\\

The status of the other 10 aboard the CH-53E choppers was not immediately known, officials said.

A search-and-rescue mission by troops from the United States, Djibouti, and France was under way, according to a statement issued by Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa, a US-led military force headquartered at Camp Lemonier, a French military base in Djibouti.

The helicopters were on a nighttime training mission at the time of the crash, the cause of which had not been determined last night.
