                     14 Killed in Peruvian Helicopter Crash

   by VOA News

   Officials in Peru say all 14 people aboard a helicopter that went
   missing earlier this week in the Andes mountains have been killed.
   Officials said Saturday the bodies were being recovered from the crash
   site.
   Police General Hector Dulanto said the helicopter was found at an
   altitude of about 4,900 meters. Bad weather had hampered the search for
   the helicopter, which went missing Wednesday on its way to the city of
   Cusco from Mazuco.
   Officials say the helicopter's passengers include three Peruvians,
   eight South Koreans and three Europeans. The Europeans have been
   identified as a Swede, a Czech and a Dutchman.
   South Korean officials say the missing Koreans had been exploring a
   possible hydroelectric project in southern Peru.

   Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.
