The bodies of two Marines missing as a result of a May 27th helicopter crash in Iraq's Anbar province have been recovered. The body of one Marine was recovered late on May 29th and the other was recovered yesterday, officials said.
"Our thoughts are with the families of the Marines," said Marine spokesman Lt. Col. Bryan Salas. The U.S. Marine Corps AH-1 Cobra helicopter from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing went down during a maintenance test flight with the two Marines on board.
The incident does not appear to be a result of enemy action, and is under investigation, officials said.
