Bolivian air force helicopter crash kills 4, including Venezuelan

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) -- Three Bolivian soldiers and a Venezuelan sergeant died Thursday when an air force helicopter crashed in central Bolivia, police said.

The Allouette helicopter donated by Venezuela was on a test flight when it crashed in the Molle Molle neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Cochabamba, according to police.

Venezuela has provided support to its ally Bolivia's small air force, donating helicopters and sending pilots to train their Bolivian counterparts.
