駐伊美軍墜落直升機乘客名單公布 首席軍醫遇難
美國五角大樓24日說,本月20日在伊拉克墜毀的美軍“黑鷹”直升機遇難者中包括駐伊美軍首席軍醫。
路透社說,這名遇難者是整形外科軍醫、46歲的布賴恩·奧爾古德,上校軍銜。不過他在伊拉克更多時候做的是普通外科手術,而非整形手術。
美國防部官員說,奧爾古德和另外11名同機遇難者當時很可能在進行“適應性飛行”,不過沒有透露他們當時執行的具體任務。遇難的軍人多數是戰鬥支援人員。
這12名遇難軍人中不乏軍官,其中包括兩名上校、一名中校、一名少校和一名上尉。美陸軍官員沒有解釋,為什麽這麽多軍官一同乘機出行。
美軍目前仍在調查墜機原因。美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報道說,這架“黑鷹”直升機被肩扛式火箭擊落。
