Seahawk crashes in Aceh


BANDA ACEH: A US helicopter on a tsunami relief mission crashed yesterday in Indonesia, injuring all 10 servicemen aboard and briefly suspending operations, while strong aftershocks and security concerns provided more challenges for aid workers two weeks after the killer waves hit. 

Millions of people are homeless and bodies were still being unearthed after the Dec 26 tsunami killed more than 150,000 people across 11 countries. The Indonesian Government promised yesterday to step up efforts to recover and bury the dead.
