Two Dead in Tunisia Military Chopper Crash
The two crew of a Tunisian military helicopter were killed when it crashed Saturday near the Libyan border in the south of the country, a government source said, blaming a technical failure.
The accident happened at Rbayh, 30 kilometers (12 miles) from Ben Guerdane, in an area where the Tunisian army presence has been strengthened in anticipation of an influx of refugees from war-torn Libya.
According to the state news agency TAP, some 2,000 people crossed into Tunisia at the Dehiba border post on Thursday and Friday.
