Three Colombia airmen killed in helicopter bombing
Three Colombian airmen were killed when suspected FARC rebels detonated explosives just as their helicopter landed in a training exercise near one of the country's largest military bases, authorities said on Tuesday.
The bombing came late on Monday as the airmen practiced landings in Tolima province, the site of Tolemaida military base, where US advisors train the army. The area is a popular weekend tourist spot for Colombians escaping from the capital. (Reuters)
