U.S. helicopter crash kills two Texas Marines
By the Associated Press
Two Texans were among the four
Marines killed Sunday in a heli
copter crash in eastern Saudi Arabia,
U.S. military officials said Monday.
The crash of the Marine Corps
UH-1 helicopter, killing the two pi
lots and both door gunners, raised
the total number of U.S. aircraft lost
in Operation Desert Storm to 23,
nine of them from non-combat
causes. The accidental crashes have
taken eight lives.
The deaths raise to five the num
ber of Texans reported killed since
Operation Desert Storm began Jan.
The Pentagon on Monday re
leased the names of the four Ma
rines killed in the helicopter crash.
They are: Capt. David R. Herr, 28,
of Fort Worth, Texas; Capt. James
K. Thorp, 30, Valley Station, Ky.;
Cpl. Kurt A. Benz, 22, Garden City,
Mich., and Cpl. Albert G. Haddad
Jr., 22, Denton, Texas.
A friend of Herr’s parents, Dr.
David and Connie Herr of Fort
Worth, said the pilot was a graduate
‘ Co
Pendleton near San Diego.
of Fort Worth Country Day School
and Washington and Lee University,
where he received a business degree.
“He was a very, very, exception
ally bright man,” said friend Jimmie
Thompson. “He wanted to be a Ma
rine for many years.”
Haddad, a 1986 graduate of Le
wisville High School, is survived by
his parents, Albert and Linda Had
dad, formerly of Lewisville, and his
wife of nearly a year, Cindy.
Haddad was stationed at Camp
;go.
“A1 was one of the choice young
men of our community, and his life
blood has been mixed with the his
tory of our nation for our freedom,
and for that we are eternally grate
ful,” Lakeland Baptist Church min
ister Ben Smith said.
“We all admired what he was
doing. He was a brave person and
proud of his country,” said Had
dad’s sister-in-law, Lori Moseley of
Lewisville.
“A1 belonged to the whole com
munity, just as the rest of your hus
bands and loved ones do,” Moseley
told the families of service members
during a support group meeting at
Lakeland Baptist Church Monday
night.
Moseley said Haddad had re-
cendy received a commendation for
his actions during Operation Desert
Storm.
The copter crash raised to 34 the
number of Americans reported
killed in Operation Desert Storm, in
cluding 22 non-combat deaths.
Marine Lance Cpl. Arthur Ga,
the first Texas serviceman to die
connection with Operation Des
Storm, was buried Monday :
ternoon in his hometown of Kin
ville.
About 300 friends, family a
supporters of U.S. troops crowds
into Saint Martin’s Catholic Chin
to remember Garza.
“Arthur had been given much
his life and through his death b
f iven much back,” said “ '

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — A well-known union
leader who fought to save the Amazon rain forest and
had received death threats was assassinated outside his
office, the National Rural Workers Movement said
Monday.
Expedite Ribeiro de Souza, president of the Farm
Workers Union in Rio Maria in the northern state of
Para and a father of nine, was shot Saturday night as he
left his office, said the movement.
The New York-based human rights group, Americas
Watch, on Monday expressed its “deepest concern”
about the murder and called on the Brazilian govern
ment to launch an investigation.
Major Brazilian newspapers headlined the killing,
and compared Souza to Amazon campaigner Chico
Mendes, who was fatally shot in 1988 in a western Am
azon town. A cattle rancher and his son were convicted
of the Mendes murder.
“All we can say at this moment is that Souza was shot
in the head four times by one gunman, probably hired
by ranchers or gold miners,” Isaias Vedovatto, a direc
tor of the Rural Workers Movement said by telephone.
He said Souza “was always denouncing ranchers who
destroy the rain forest to create pasture for their catde
and wno hire gunmen to expel and often kill landless
workers who occupy their land. He was also an enemy
of gold miners who pollute the rivers with mercury.”
In April, Souza requested police protection in the af
termath of the murders of four rural activists from Rio
Maria.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — In a
renewed call for terrorism in sup-
E ort of Saddam Hussein, Radio
aghdad on Tuesday ordered activ
ists to strike hard at the interests of
countries siding against Iraq in the
Persian Gulf war.
The broadcast was followed by a
series of cryptic messages and a call
from “Central Command.”
“To strugglers in all revolutionary
cells,” the radio announcer said.
“Fight them with all your force, in all
their dens, wherever they are.”
“Do not spare any interest of any
aggression against your brethren in
Iraq, against an Arab and Islamic na-
the "
tion,” the broadcast said.
The call, monitored in Nicosia,
was repeated at least twice early
Tuesday.
“Let the traitors and cowards re
main sleepless,” it said
The broadcast described Presi
dent Bush as “the slaughterer of the
age,” and told King Fahd of Saudi
Arabia that he “will taste bitter
death.”
Earlier, the radio broadcast tfc
myterious messages from “Mi
moon” in “Central Command’
people named Kutayba, Mudarjl
man and Muntaser.
It was impossible to determine
the messages were coded instin
tions for agents abroad or panel:
psychological campaign.
Kutayba’s instructions wen
“Implement what’s on the table,ae
what’s outside it.” Mudar was toll
“Do not hesitate to do anything. Gi
be with you.”
