Venezuelan army officers stand next to a body of crew member of a crashed helicopter near Colomi July 21, 2008. Four Venezuelan army officers and a Bolivian military official were killed when a helicopter often used by Bolivia's President Evo Morales crashed in central Bolivia. Morales was not onboard when the accident occurred in the central Cochabamba region, but had used the helicopter two hours earlier, said Bolivia's Defense Minister Walker San Miguel. The helicopter is one of two the Venezuelan government lent Morales after he took office in January 2006. REUTERS/Rafael Balderrama (BOLIVIA)
