20/06/2008 Two Lebanese army pilots were injured when they were forced to make an emergency landing after their Gazelle helicopter caught fire over Baalbek, northeast of Lebanon. The injured soldiers, a major and a cadet were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The Lebanese Army Command issued a statement saying that the Gazelle helicopter faced a technical problem, which led to the fire.
The soldiers’ “wounds are not dangerous,” the statement added. “The helicopter was severely damaged, and an investigation into the incident was launched.”
