                   Five Dead in South Africa Helicopter Crash

   A South African military helicopter has crashed during an anti-poaching
   mission, killing all five people aboard.
   The South African army announced Sunday that the helicopter was doing
   an aerial patrol of the Kruger National Park when the aircraft went
   down Saturday evening. An investigation of the cause is under way.
   The five air force members were patrolling for poachers of rhino horn
   in the park, in response to a steep rise in rhino poaching over the
   past three years.
   Last week, three suspected rhino poachers were killed in Kruger Park in
   a shootout with park rangers. Authorities have arrested more than 60
   people since the beginning of the year for rhino poaching and related
   activities.
   Rhino horn is in demand in parts of Asia where it is seen as a
   medicinal material.
