Nicaraguan crash kills two U.S. men
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Two American men who may have been mercenaries were killed in the crash of a rebel helicopter that was shot down over Nicaragua during a raid on a Nicaraguan military base. D.N.Y. disclosed yesterday. Nicaragua lodged a protest with the State Department.
The U.S.-made OH58 helicopter was shot down Saturday when it accompanied a three-plane air assault by CIA-backed Nicaraguan rebels on a military training school in northwestern Nicaragua.
The three crew members aboard the craft were killed, two burned beyond recognition, the Nicaraguan government said. It said four Nicaraguans were killed and also two were killed in the air strike and two Nicaraguans were wounded.
A DEFENSE MINISTRY spokesman said that authorities were attempting to identify the nationality of the third crew member, "a tall, heavy-set, blond," who had "all the appearances of an American."
In Washington, Moynihan, said he had been informed by the CIA that two Americans were aboard the helicopter but the agency denied that they were on the CIA's payroll. Moynihan said "the best guess" was that they were free-lance mercenaries.
"We assume they are Americans," Moynihan said in an interview on the CBS Morning News. "We do not know Last week, again. Men from men from Honduras) from Orleans. And apparently made their way to the FDN, the钥
"TWO OF THEM clearly were in a helicopter that flew over Santa Clara (in Nicaragua Saturday) where there had been a firefight on the ground between the Sandistas and the Contras. The helicopter was shot down, and this one man came out alive (but was killed.)"
'Contra' group.
Moynihan, vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, did not identify the Americans nor did he say how the CIA knew they were aboard the helicopter.
The American deaths would be the first reported in the almost 3-year-old rebel war against Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government. The Nicaraguan government has charged that the rebels use foreign mercenaries, but the charges have never been confirmed.
"THE USE OF massive air methods provided by the CIA to the bands of mercenaries is evidence of an escalation in the open war the U.S. government is waging against Nicaragua," the protest said.
Nicaragua's Foreign Ministry lodged an official protest with the U.S. State Department, charging that the Reagan administration with escalating its undeclared war that has depleted $5 million in U.S. funds (BRU).
Nicaraguan officials said they would release photographs of the body of the blond man so that his next of kin could claim the body.
It was the second time in a week Nicaragua claimed it shot down a U.S.-made aircraft. Tuesday, eight U.S.-backed rebels were killed when a United States shot down in Nicaragua as it dropped supplies to rebels, officials said.

WHAT EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEASING A TELEPHONE AND LEASING A CHICKEN.
Yes, there are differences. And we think you should know what they are. Ask yourself these questions.
DO LEASED CHICKENS COME IN A SELECTION OF COLORS AND STYLES? No. Chickens don't come in many colors. But the AT&T telephone you lease this fall comes in a variety of colors and three popular styles.
ARE LEASED CHICKENS REPAIRED FREE?
Don't kid yourself. Repairing a chicken is a delicate process that requires the work of expensive professionals. However, in the off chance you
AT&T leased telephone needs repairs, we'll fix it absolutely free when you visit any of our AT&T Phone Centers.
ARE LEASED CHICKENS SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO YOU?
Ship a chicken? Don't be silly. However, your AT&T leased
telephone will be shipped directly to you after one call to 1-800-555-8111, or you can pick up your phone at any of our AT&T Phone Centers. ONE FINAL QUESTION: DOES IT COST THE SAME TO LEASE A CHICKEN AS TO LEASE A TELEPHONE THIS FALL? Hardly. While we have no hard data on the exact cost of leasing a chicken, we can tell you with some certainty that the cost of leasing a telephone this fall is far less than you might think. The decision to lease a chicken or a telephone, of course, rests with you. But should you opt for the teleme, remember: you get three months see next summer, and you can take the one home with you. There's a choice of colors and styles, free repair, and we'll ship you the phone
ship you the phone or you can pick it up at any
of our AT&T Phone Centers.
it doesn't cost much either. And that's something to crow about.
