Two Die As Moroccan Air Force Chopper Crashes.
A Moroccan air force helicopter crashed Friday in disputed Western Sahara, killing two crew members, state news agency MAP reported.
One other person on board was slightly injured in the crash, a military source told MAP, adding that a “technical investigation” had been launched to determine the cause of the incident near the settlement of Tichla.It maintains that Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony under its control, is an integral part of its territory.
The Polisario Front, which campaigns for the territory’s independence, demands a referendum on self-determination. The Polisario Front liberation movement and Morocco fought a war over the region from 1975 to 1991, when a ceasefire deal was agreed and a UN peace mission deployed to monitor the truce in the former Spanish colony.
