Marine Missing After Copter Crash

A Marine sergeant was missing Monday after a U.S. helicopter crashed into the ocean near Mogadishu as troops prepared to protect withdrawing U.N. peacekeepers.

Sgt. Justin A. Harris, 23, of Toledo, Ohio, could not be found after the helicopter from the USS Essex went down Sunday morning.

Four others on board the Huey helicopter were rescued by boats from the Essex and treated for minor cuts and bruises, a U.S. Navy statement said.

It said the helicopter had lifted off for a routine training mission when it crashed into the Indian Ocean about 100 yards from the Essex.
