Peru: Helicopter missing with 11 foreigners
None
Snow and fog impeded efforts Thursday to locate a helicopter that went missing in Peru's highlands with 14 people aboard, including eight South Koreans and three Europeans. Authorities said the aircraft's emergency beacon indicated it was on rugged terrain.
The last communication with the helicopter owned by Cuzco-based Helicusco was late Wednesday afternoon as it headed for Cuzco from the town of Mazuco in neighboring Madre de Dios state, said police Gen. Hector Dulanto. The helicopter was carrying eight South Koreans, a Swede, a Czech, a Dutchman and three Peruvians, two of them crew members, he said. (AP)
