The U.S. Army has identified five American troops that were killed after a military helicopter crashed in Egypt during a routine mission, killing a total of seven uniformed peacekeepers from the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), officials said.
The MFO said in a news release earlier this week eight members of the force were involved in the crash while on a mission in the vicinity of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. Only one peacekeeper survived the crash and was airlifted to a hospital where the service member remains in critical condition.
